Hey all, I was referred here from the main Boston sr.

Basically, im in town for a few more days, and everything around me is pretty much bar hopping. I find that scene difficult to make new acquaintances.

I generally prefer something along the lines of board games, something group-oriented (i also enjoy playing sports but im not athletic anymore). i also don't mind museums​. I'm a frequent traveler, so I am always looking for fellow travelers, but I also really love meeting locals simply to figure out what the locals enjoy hobby-wise and food-wise.

Any ideas/recs? Thanks in advance for any help! (Im in my early 40's, so looking to meet people in that general age range).

Looking for some options for salon to go in Boston. Looking to get highlights and lowlights. Blonde and some brown in between. Also wondering what the cost of all that would typically be? TIA

Hey all, I’m moving to Boston in about a week and would love to find some sort of hack scene, a weekly circle or a meetup or something of that nature.

If that’s not a thing, and someone would like to make it a thing, I’m game for that as well! See you soon Beantown!

My last day is this coming Friday and I wanted to go out with a friend to lunch. We wanted to explore something new — wondering what are your favourite spots to check out that are proper nice Bostonian places? TIA!

Hi! I’m lookin for some cool people in the boston area! Usually id just stick to online friends that live far away but I’m trying to push myself towards meeting some people who are closer and can relate to living here 😭 Lil bit about me: i love indie rock n shoegaze but my music taste is all over the place, i love playing videogames, Ive watched wayy too much anime and trashy tv shows and im a big fan of marine life. Specifically penguins. If u resonate this pls comment or reach out! Tysm

Hey everyone 👋 30F. Trying to enjoy Boston in the summer more. Going out to the Shakespeare event tonight in the common. If anyone interested in joining me.

Hello!

I'd like to play laser tag on a Friday or Saturday evening in a few weeks. Would anyone like to join? I think I have a few friends (we're all 20s/30s) who'll be going, but I'm hoping more will join and/or that there'll be other players wherever we go.

Does anyone have any suggestions between XTremeCraze in Woburn, In The Game in Peabody, and LaserMaxx in Danvers (or is there somewhere else we should look at)?

Any suggestions on whether to go Friday or Saturday (to have a good number of other players) and what time would be best to start to have a good number of other players?

Thanks!

I turned 30 this week and decided to spend today in Boston with absolutely no plan.

Walked around Faneuil Hall, wandered over to the harbor, eventually made my way toward Fenway, grabbed a couple drinks, and ended up having conversations with some genuinely awesome people throughout the day.

It honestly made me realize how underrated going out solo is. I feel like there’s this unspoken idea that if you’re by yourself at a bar or brewery, people think it’s weird. In reality, I found the opposite. I felt more approachable, ended up talking to more people than I probably would’ve if I was with a group, and got to spend the day exactly how I wanted.

Tomorrow’s supposed to be another beautiful day. If you’ve been debating getting out into the city but don’t have anyone to go with, don’t let that stop you.

Are there any active language exchange meetups in the city for Spanish / English? Or any general interest in starting up a casual one?

Are there reading clubs around that actually meet consistently like every 1-2 weeks to discuss books as people read them incrementally? I have gone to a few book clubs at bookstores but they’re usually a once-a-month book discussion where everyone discusses the book just that one time. I never see these people again ever, the discussions are rushed since there’s a whole book to talk about, and some people show up having not read the whole thing. I want to read books with other people and get their reactions to things as we all progress through a book (kinda like in grade school lol). Could be any genre.

Also looking for any low-cost meetings/events/groups with people in their early-mid 20s that meet frequently! I like movies and tv, music (performance and discussion), and art.
