Special thanks to our hors d’oeuvre sponsor @ayvee_caviar_ for supporting art and community.

I originally started hosting small NYC meetups just to bring interesting people together ,creatives, founders, professionals, artists, people new to the city, etc.
What surprised me most wasn’t the networking part. It was how many people were genuinely looking for deeper conversations and real community offline again.

Over time I started seeing regulars become friends, collaborators, business partners, even dating couples. Some people came alone their first night and now bring others every week. NYC can feel huge and isolating at the same time, so creating spaces where people actually introduce each other and talk beyond surface-level small talk has been unexpectedly meaningful for me too.

Curious if anyone else feels like smaller curated gatherings are becoming more valuable than giant networking events lately?
