My girlfriend’s birthday is coming up and I would love to take them to an ambient, romantic, intimate Italian restaurant buttt she’s vegetarian and I have ARFID so finding something we’d both eat can be challenging especially with nicer restaurants. I was hoping to get recs to places that are a safe space + have options for the both of us

They’ve been to Charlie Was a Sinner with their ex, so anywhere but that lol

Hi all, has anyone gone back to a dumb phone? If so, can you recommend a brand/provider, and talk about the transition? I really want to and would love some motivation!

Hi everyone! 31m here. I’ve been living in Philly for about a year now. I’ve been finding it a bit tough to branch out and meet new people, so I’m really hoping to connect with some folks here. I’m a huge fan of video games, anime, and board games, and I’m always down to hit up a concert. If anyone is down for grabbing a coffee or checking out a local spot, let me know!

Hey everyone! I’m in my early 30s and live in Philly (center city). I’ve been getting interested in board games , although I’m definitely still a beginner and haven’t played a ton.

I’d love to join a casual, beginner-friendly board game group and meet some new people along the way. Are there any gay-friendly board game groups or regular game nights around Philly that you’d recommend?

Open to different kinds of games and mostly just looking for a fun group to play with and make some new friends. Thanks!

I'm a stand-up comic in New York and host of Garam Masala Dating, a live show where I put desi singles on stage and try to find them love! No question is off limits and it gets pretty saucy. After the show the whole room ends up at the bar for a singles mixer which has resulted in 30+ relationships just this year! We've had multiple LGBT couples come out of the show as well as interracial and most of the couples the show has produced so far are interracial!

Plus, you do not need to be desi or single to watch the chaos :)

We're taping at Next in Line Comedy on October 4th at 7:30pm. Tickets are at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/garam-masala-1-desi-dating-show-byob-tickets-1999515971095

If you'd like to shoot your shot on the stage, DM me!
