Friends in New York

Make friends in New York.

New York is full of people and still one of the easiest places to feel alone. The New York pool is open, and a crew forms once enough people nearby want the same thing.

The New York pool is open

WeVenture is forming crews in Toronto first. In New York, sign-ups go into a local pool, and a crew forms once enough people nearby want the same thing and fit the same week. You can also choose an online crew in the meantime.

Free for adults 18+. No swiping, no browsing profiles.

Ideas for a New York crew

What a crew in New York could do.

Your crew forms around one shared interest and votes on the actual plans. Here is where a few of them could start.

  • Cycling

    Ride the Hudson River Greenway up the west side of Manhattan.

  • Local food

    Eat your way through Jackson Heights or Flushing, one block at a time.

  • Hiking

    Walk Prospect Park or the north end of Central Park on weekend mornings.

Places named here are public spots a crew might choose. WeVenture is not affiliated with them.

Close to home

New York neighborhoods a crew could meet in.

Crews form around people who live close enough to meet every week, so where you live matters as much as what you love.

  • Astoria
  • Park Slope
  • Harlem
  • the Lower East Side
  • Williamsburg
  • Jackson Heights

How it works

From a sign-up to a plan on the calendar.

  1. Tell us what you love

    Tap the interests that fit you and the evenings you are usually free. It takes a couple of minutes.

  2. Meet your crew

    WeVenture matches you with people who want the same thing and fit your week. You meet as a group.

  3. Four meetups

    The app plans your first four meetups. After that, everyone privately decides whether to keep going.
