Dinner with New Friends #1

THE FIRST DINNER WITH NEW FRIENDS WENT SO WELL!

I couldn't be happier with how amazing the people who attended were and how incredibly fun it was to sit and have dinner with 9 new friends.

“I went to the first Dinner with New Friends and had a blast despite being a little apprehensive to begin with. A real mix of ages, genders, nationalities and interests. My phone notes were brimming with things to check out and new friends come 9pm.” – Simon F.

“Josh is the most genuinely warm and friendly Aussie in NYC! Buy this guy a beer (or check out his website) and he will save you so much time and hassle when settling into the city.” – Karina H.

“Lots of fun, delicious food, super well organized and a great way to make new friends in the city!” – Kate A.

“I'm not alone … thinking that I was the only one who has trouble pronouncing Stuyvesant.” – Brent H.

“What a fun night with great people!” – Juliana P.

“What a great idea! Thanks for organising dinner Josh. It was lots of fun..and I can’t wait for the next one.” – Yvonne J.

“I haven’t hung out with too many aussies since I’ve been in NY so I was pretty excited to meet people with the same funny accent and the same chill vibe I miss about home. Dinner was great, Josh is great and the people were pretty damn fab. 10 our of 10 would do it again. Thanks Josh!” – Chrissie T.

To everyone who attended, thank you.
