Everything else like this, I go to for the event. I go to Closer for the people.

Mimi C.

As a therapist based in NYC, I know it can be an extremely lonely and isolating place. It's easy for our loneliness to feel unique or that we're the only one experiencing loneliness. The intro Closer event I went to last night was shockingly vulnerable. People were really present, they were really interested in you, and the format fostered such great connectivity and openness.

I had my normal social anxiety going in, but Closer does things a bit differently; everyone comes solo, they provide prompts for you to chat in small groups, and frankly, I had friend crushes on everyone. I honestly can't recommend it more.

Chris M.

Everyone was so warm and open to creating real friendships.

if you're looking to make new friends in in NYC, I met the coolest group of people at Closer. Some people are having friend breakups, others are going through other things or transitions in their lives, and whether you're to find a new best friend or someone to get coffee with, there were people from all different backgrounds - I can not recommend enough.

I wish you could have heard the genuine laughter. Everyone was so lovely, and I highly recommend.

I went into this event thinking I was just going to have surface-level conversations like where everyone worked or lived in the city, but we actually had such good conversations, and I made so many new friends.

FAQ

What is Closer?

Closer is a members-only platform for curated group plans in your city — designed to help you expand your social circle naturally. You get access to a steady stream of events, all lightly facilitated, so there’s structure without pressure.

Think: dinner parties, neighborhood drinks, offbeat outings — always with great people and a built-in reason to say yes.

How do I become a part of Closer?

Start by signing up for an Intro — a small hosted experience with other prospective members. It’s casual, low-pressure, and gives you a real feel for how Closer works. If it feels like a fit, we’ll invite you to become a member.

Why do I need to attend an Intro?

We do things a little differently. The Intro isn’t a pitch — it’s part of the experience. It’s how we make sure everyone joins with the same spirit: open, easygoing, and ready to connect. It’s also how we keep the member group great.

What happens once I join?

You’ll get access to our member portal and custom calendar, where you can browse upcoming experiences and RSVP directly. Membership is $8/month. Each event has its own price — some casual, some upscale — you pick what you're into.
