New to the city? Looking to expand your social circle? Just tired of the same old plans?
We believe that sharing a meal is one of the best ways to bring people together. That’s why Gather 22 is partnering with Connection Club to host Dinner with Strangers—an intimate dining experience designed to help you meet new people in a relaxed, welcoming space.
On March 20 from 6-8 PM, join us for a curated meal where strangers become friends over great food and meaningful conversation.
This isn’t a networking event. No forced conversations or awkward icebreakers—just good food, great people, and real connections.

A welcome drink (cocktail or non-alcoholic option)

You keep saying “I need to get out more” but never actually do
Loneliness Is More Than a Feeling
Chronic loneliness isn’t just about missing social plans. It’s a real health risk. Research from the U.S. Surgeon General found it can be as harmful as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Stress, anxiety, poor sleep, even heart disease—it’s all connected. And despite being more “connected” online than ever, many of us feel more isolated.
So, what’s the solution? Real-life experiences. Face-to-face conversations. Shared moments.
Limited Seats Available—Reserve Yours Now
Come solo, bring a friend, or make it a date night with a twist. However you arrive, you’ll leave with a full belly, a fresh perspective, and maybe even a few new friends.
