A better way to get together
IT'S NOT MAGIC
It’s Closer.
Closer is a platform designed to remove the barriers to authentic connection—and ultimately, to end the loneliness epidemic and create a place where everyone can belong.
We offer the things you want to do, we bring you together with great people, and we design our experiences to make it easy to hit it off. It’s carefully facilitated, not elitist. Exciting, not overwhelming. A reliable yes, not a flaky maybe.
It’s a calendar full of experiences where the hard work’s been done so it’s easy to focus on the people you’re meeting. It’s instant plans, or plans you can look forward to for weeks.
So whether you need more weeknight things to do, you’re in town for the summer, or your best friend just moved to the other side of the world, Closer has your kind of connection, with your kinds of people (or the people you didn’t know you needed to meet).
Welcome to Closer: It’s a consistently good time, more ways to discover your city, always someone new to meet—and a chance at magic.

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