Foodies + New Friends: Nice

You sign up. We book. Connect with new friends over dinner while supporting locally owned restaurants.

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 reservation. We know life can get busy. Don't forget to spend time making new friends! Build your community with us while supporting locally owned businesses.

Each outing is held at a different location. These gatherings are not directly associated with the restaurants, but are simply based on a table reservation via Opentable, Resy, or other plaforms.. The pin on the map is not the location but a placeholder since each week takes place somewhere different.

This micro-event is intended to be for 4-6 people maximum. If the day you signed up for does not hit the minimum number of signups, please be open to joining us on another day with a fuller group. Check out our feature in Eventbrite's 2025 TRNDS report about embracing the micro-event trend.

How does it work?

After you register, you'll be emailed an introduction message asking about age range, food preferences, and interests. We'll stay in touch with you leading up to the day of the gathering.

*Your registration does not include your individual food and drink purchases (but free events typically mean most people no show).

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

*If you sign up the day of, there's a risk of already reach our maximum for the day, or not having enough interest to move forward with a table reservation. Simply email ermantourageimpact@gmail.com to for info prior to signing up.

Our vision is simple: we take the no gimmicks approach to networking. No need for yet another app to take up space on your phone - just four walls and a roof and good food for people to connect :) We coordinate with you directly, human-to-human.

If you have any more questions, please contact ermantourageimpact@gmail.com !
