Foodies + New Friends: Norfolk Dinner Club at 219 Bistro

May 29 2026

7:00 p.m.
219 Bistro 219 Granby Street Norfolk, VA 23510, Price: $31.37

Join us for cozy dinners with locals to share experiences, make new connections, and support local businesses while giving back!

Calling all foodies! 🍱

Our series groups together complete strangers for a fun night out. You sign up, and we book the restaurant. A different day, a different location!

Our mission is to host dinners in multiple cities to bring people together while supporting locally owned businesses. Each micro-gathering is intended to be for 4 -6 diners maximum. Check out our feature in Eventbrite’s 2025 TRNDS report about embracing the micro-event trend.

(Become a monthly subscriber via Patreon for community gatherings not listed on this calendar, for giveaways, and to connect with other members for just $10 instead of à la carte).

This is not directly associated with the restaurant we’ve selected for the week, but simply based on a table reservation via Opentable or other reservation platforms. 🍴 We are making the reservation here after the final headcount.

How does it work?

*Your registration does not include your individual food and drink purchases. A paid ticket simply makes you more committed to actually showing up, supports our team’s endeavors, and contributes to The Comeunity Project (see below for info).

*These outings are intended to help people make friends. These are not dating gatherings. 🧍‍♂️ 🧍‍♀️

*If you sign up the day of, there’s a risk of already reaching our maximum attendees for the night, or not having enough interest to move forward with a table reservation. Simply email ermantourageimpact@gmail.com for info prior to signing up if you’d like.

Our vision is simple: we take the no gimmicks approach to networking. No need for yet another app to take up space on your phone – just four walls and a roof and good food for people to connect 🙂 We coordinate with you directly, human-to-human. 🤖

If you have any more questions, please contact ermantourageimpact@gmail.com!
