100 Cities Project: Lyon | Dinner with New Friends

Life can feel lonely when you’re always working on your passion. Take the opportunity to meet other locals over dinner!

When was the last time you did something completely spontaneous? Our series groups together complete strangers for a fun night out. That's right, you sign up, and we book the restaurant. We know life can get busy. Don't forget to spend time making new friends locally! Build your community with us while supporting locally owned businesses.

Each outing takes place at a different restaurant. These dinners are not directly associated with the restaurants, but are simply based on a table reservation via Resy, OpenTable, or other sites. The pin on the map is not the location but a placeholder Eventbrite gives for the city, since the dinner is held at a new location.

This micro-event is intended to be for 4-6 people. If the evening you signed up for does not hit the minimum number of signups, please be open to joining us on another night with a fuller group.

After you register, you'll be emailed an introduction message. We'll stay in touch with you leading up to the night of the dinner. Expect a Final Details email the day of.

Your registration does not include your individual food and drink purchases. A paid ticket simply makes you more committed to actually showing up, plus a membership.

These outings are intended to help people make friends. These are not singles gatherings.

We are not limited to the dates on the page's calendar for dinner outings. For members, we will contact you periodically for nights out we plan.

If you sign up the day of, there's a risk of already reaching our maximum for the night, or not having enough interest to move forward with a table reservation at all.
