Reasons to keep showing up
Boston can be a hard place to meet people. This was a great opportunity. Nice company, good conversation, great food.

I was at a birthday dinner and asked a girl how she met my friend. She said at a Timeleft dinner! I had never heard of the app, but I decided to give it a go. I have been to two dinners so far and plan to go to more…

I am so happy to have found Timeleft. It has got me out of the house and meeting new people every week. I have made some wonderful connections with some new friends.

How Timeleft works in Boston
Choose your activity
Pick from dinners, drinks, coffee, runs, and walks. Each has its own vibe, so go with whatever fits your mood and your week.
Pick a day
Choose a day that suits you. We'll book the venue in Boston and put your group together.
Show up and settle in
Twelve hours before the event, the app shows you the venue and a bit about who's coming. Everyone there chose to come, just like you, which takes the edge off. Come once, then come back whenever you like.
Timeleft matches you with four to six people for dinner, drinks, coffee, a run, or a walk in Boston, based on your interests, personality and language. You sign up on your own, we choose the venue and the group, and 12 hours before the event, the app tells you where to go.
When are Timeleft events in Boston?
There's dinner every Wednesday and Friday at 7:00 pm, drinks every Thursday at 7:00 pm, coffee every Saturday at 1:00 pm, a run every Saturday at 10:00 am, and a walk every Saturday at 10:00 am. There are also women-only dinners on Mondays at 7:00 pm and singles dinners on Tuesdays at 7:00 pm. Bookings close 13 hours before each event starts.
Where in Boston do they happen?
At restaurants, bars, cafés, and meeting points across Boston. The app shows the exact venue 12 hours before the event.
How much does a Timeleft dinner cost in Boston?
To book, you need a Timeleft subscription. Food and drinks are paid separately at the venue. Subscription prices depend on the plan you pick, and the app shows them before you pay.
Can I go on my own?
Yes. You book on your own and we put the group together, so you don't need to bring anyone. Every event is at a public venue we've vetted, and our safety guidelines cover the rest. The guide to your first dinner walks through it step by step.
Is Timeleft a dating app?
No. There are no profiles to swipe through, and nobody gets paired off. You meet four to six people at once, in person.
What if I'm vegetarian or vegan, or have an allergy?
Pick a dietary preference in the app when you book, and we'll do our best to seat you at a venue that caters to it. Most restaurants we use in Boston have vegetarian dishes, and plenty have vegan ones too. For allergies, check with the venue on the day.
