Do Things.

Curated events for connection
Welcome to Closer
Not a social club. Not a swiping app.
No pressure. No gimmicks.
Just plans that feel easy —
with vetted people,
doing things you actually want to do
in the city you live in.
A better way to say yes to your city
and the people in it.
How does Closer work?
Access to great plans and the kind of people you actually want to meet.
1) Come to an Intro
Your first Closer event is an Intro — a guided group experience with other new members. Pick the one that fits your schedule. Just show up.
2) Unlock Your Calendar
After your Intro, you’re in. You’ll get access to our member portal — full of curated events happening every week.
3) Make Plans, Meet People
Come solo. Bring a friend. Whether you’re in the mood for dinner, drinks, or something new — if you need plans, you’ve got them.
“Everything else like this, I go to for the event. I go to Closer for the people.

“As a therapist based in NYC, I know it can be an extremely lonely and isolating place. It's easy for our loneliness to feel unique or that we're the only one experiencing loneliness. The intro Closer event I went to last night was shockingly vulnerable. People were really present, they were really interested in you, and the format fostered such great connectivity and openness.
”
“I had my normal social anxiety going in, but Closer does things a bit differently; everyone comes solo, they provide prompts for you to chat in small groups, and frankly, I had friend crushes on everyone. I honestly can't recommend it more.
”
“Everyone was so warm and open to creating real friendships.
”
“if you're looking to make new friends in in NYC, I met the coolest group of people at Closer. Some people are having friend breakups, others are going through other things or transitions in their lives, and whether you're to find a new best friend or someone to get coffee with, there were people from all different backgrounds - I can not recommend enough.
”
“I wish you could have heard the genuine laughter. Everyone was so lovely, and I highly recommend.
”
“I went into this event thinking I was just going to have surface-level conversations like where everyone worked or lived in the city, but we actually had such good conversations, and I made so many new friends.

FAQ
What is Closer?
Closer is a members-only platform for curated group plans in your city — designed to help you expand your social circle naturally. You get access to a steady stream of events, all lightly facilitated, so there’s structure without pressure.
Think: dinner parties, neighborhood drinks, offbeat outings — always with great people and a built-in reason to say yes.
How do I become a part of Closer?
Start by signing up for an Intro — a small hosted experience with other prospective members. It’s casual, low-pressure, and gives you a real feel for how Closer works. If it feels like a fit, we’ll invite you to become a member.
Why do I need to attend an Intro?
We do things a little differently. The Intro isn’t a pitch — it’s part of the experience. It’s how we make sure everyone joins with the same spirit: open, easygoing, and ready to connect. It’s also how we keep the member group great.
What happens once I join?
You’ll get access to our member portal and custom calendar, where you can browse upcoming experiences and RSVP directly. Membership is $8/month. Each event has its own price — some casual, some upscale — you pick what you're into.
