Ermantourage LA

City life can be lonely, especially when you’re surrounded by so many people. Take the opportunity to meet others hoping for new connections

Restaurant of the week

When was the last time you did something completely spontaneous? Our series groups together complete strangers for a fun night out. That's right, you sign up, and we book the restaurant. We know life can get busy. Don't forget to spend time making new friends in the big city! Build your community with us while supporting locally owned businesses.Each outing is held at a different restaurant. These dinners are not directly associated with the restaurants, but are simply based on a table reservation. The pin on the map is not the location but a placeholder Eventbrite gives for the city. You can email us before signing up to learn about the prospective restaurant of the week.This micro-event is intended to be for 4-6 people maximum. If the evening you signed up for does not hit the minimum number of signups, please be open to joining us on another night with a fuller group.Check out our feature in <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Eventbrite-TRNDS-2025-UKI.pdf?utm_campaign=6747205-TRNDS%202025%20Campaign&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9WpoZybeaMwyBjZ08sKKMKeanj_udKGTJ5JoEfJZO_ZH6bfePBT1CUFuDJujWoFvwuWcHPe8lg9YKlfo2w9LFEaZyfhg&amp;_hsmi=346114938&amp;utm_content=346114938&amp;utm_source=hs_email" title="https://www.eventbrite.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Eventbrite-TRNDS-2025-UKI.pdf?utm_campaign=6747205-TRNDS%202025%20Campaign&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9WpoZybeaMwyBjZ08sKKMKeanj_udKGTJ5JoEfJZO_ZH6bfePBT1CUFuDJujWoFvwuWcHPe8lg9YKlfo2w9LFEaZyfhg&amp;_hsmi=346114938&amp;utm_content=346114938&amp;utm_source=hs_email" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Eventbrite's 2025 TRNDS report</a> about embracing the micro-event trend.<a href="https://www.foxla.com/video/1663364" title="https://www.foxla.com/video/1663364" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Our feature on Fox 11 Los Angeles for our dinner meets.</a><a href="https://fox17.com/news/growing-nashville/nashville-sees-surge-in-population-locals-turn-to-dinner-with-strangers-for-connection-4-24-25" title="https://fox17.com/news/growing-nashville/nashville-sees-surge-in-population-locals-turn-to-dinner-with-strangers-for-connection-4-24-25" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Please see here for our coverage in Nashville Fox 17's Growing Nashville segment.</a> How does it work?After you register, you'll be emailed an introduction message.
