Reasons to keep showing up

  • The concept of putting a bunch of strangers at a dinner table is brilliant. I wnt to my first one in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and every single person was an individual with their own special personality. We exchanged numbers and plan on getting together soon! I will do this again, soon!

  • I have gone to six of these dinners in NYC. Most of them have been great.

  • 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…
