Like a lot of recent grads, Emma Sassman found the transition to post-college social life in the city a little challenging and decided that bars and clubs weren’t cutting it for making new friends.
Instead of complaining, the brand designer and web developer started coding. Enter Meet & Mangia, a platform that aims to encourage friendships while enjoying some of the city’s best food. Creating a profile is free, and allows users to make a reservation for one of the group’s upcoming dinners. The table size is capped at six, which is a manageable size for fostering conversation.
Meet & Mangia’s first dinner took place at Jovanina’s Broken Italian on May 30, and Sassman says the debut was a rousing success. “It was awesome. I brought my good friend Joe and there were two other guys that we didn't know and we just had a great conversation, and we're already planning what to do next! The restaurant itself was also really interested in what we were doing, and everyone was just very excited about it.
