Friends within 10mins - I had no idea what to expect and was super nervous but within about 10mins I had 5 new friends and a gang to go bar hopping with! What a great way to experience New York when travelling solo! Seriously you have to go! 10/10. So much fun!!!

Amazing - It was an amazing experience My group is very small and not really the "leaving virtual feedback" types for the most part, but I still appreciate the info! I had no idea that was there either. (In looking back through things I also just noticed a bunch of comments on an event that I got no notifications for, so that was also good to know, haha.)

GEM vibes are unmatched - This group truely brings so many amazing people together! No matter the location (coffee shops, bar crawl, food events, comedy shoes, etc), it is always fun. As someone that came to an event solo, everyone was so welcoming and fun. If you are visiting or looking to meet new people in the city, I can't recommend this group enough!

Great Experience! - This was a cool experience! We hopped from bar to bar having fun at each place. Everyone I met had great energy, and that is what I welcome in this awesome city. Also did I mention this is an amazing way to meet new friends? I definitely recommend this to locals as well as those visiting the best city in the United States.
