How it works

In a city of millions, it’s easy to feel alone. sup makes it simple to share a meal, meet new faces, and turn strangers into friends, one dinner at a time.

step 1 - sign up

Pick a few nights you're free, where you'd like to sup, and a couple more quick things.

step 2 - get matched

We will pair you with a small group and make a reservation at a solid spot.

step 3 - show up and eat

You'll get the details by text. Just pull up a chair, say hey, and enjoy dinner with real people.

step 4 - make real connections

Skip the small talk and dive right in! Every table is a chance to meet someone new and leave with a story worth sharing.

Why we exist

New York is full of people, but it's hard to meet them. Making friends feels like a lot of work, and dating apps get stuck in chat.

We wanted something simple: a reason to leave the house and eat with people who also wanted to show up.

That's it! No pitch or performance. Just supper.

We're running suppers this week, some 1-on-1 and some groups.

Everything you need to know about sup

Who will I be eating with?

Strangers! But the kind who also signed up for this. You'll get names and a short intro by text.

Where are the dinners?

All over Manhattan and Brooklyn. We'll pick places that are easy to get to and easy to talk in.

Is this for dating?

Not really. Some dinners are 1-on-1, but the goal is good conversation, not necessarily pressure.

What if someone else flakes?

We ask everyone to confirm their spot. If someone bails, we do our best to fill their seat, or worst comes to worst, let the table run smaller.

Does it cost anything?

Nope. You just pay for your own meal.

Can I bring a friend?

No, that's the point!
