The Weekend Club in New York — 6-person AI-matched weekend brunch
The Weekend Club is an app-powered offline social experience (a best alternative to dating apps). We use AI to match 6 people into one table for a ~2-hour weekend brunch in central New York City, so you can meet new friends, ideas, and collaboration opportunities—without endless DMs or awkward inviting.
What happens in New York
- When: weekends only
- Format: 6 people, one table, ~2 hours brunch
- Where: restaurants in central NYC (exact venue revealed ~1 day before)
- Before you meet: you’ll see the venue, each tablemate’s one-line intro, job, zodiac, plus suggested icebreak topics
- After brunch: leave feedback and view whether others gave you compliments
Why people choose us in New York
- NYC is full of people, but it’s also a city where schedules are crowded and social circles can become siloed fast (work friends, neighborhood friends, industry friends). Our format re-opens your social surface area—weekly and reliably—so meeting new people stops feeling like a second job.
- Paying a seat fee + risk tiers reduces no-shows, so the table actually happens.
Safety & quality mechanisms (only on The Weekend Club)
- Front-camera face verification + human review (unverified users pay higher fees)
- Risk tiers / blacklist to isolate high-risk behavior (no-shows, multi-accounts, repeated negative feedback)
Who this is for
- You just moved to NYC / changed circles and want friends you can actually meet again
- Your social life is mostly colleagues or old friends
- You want deeper conversation than small talk
- You’re in a life transition (new job, breakup, relocation, graduation)
- You want more serendipity: new perspectives, resources, and opportunities
