Let’s go to dinner with 5 strangers!
We're working on a local "Timeleft" style dinner series where it's hosted by LOCALS.
Try new restaurants, explore cultural cuisines, and bop around various neighborhoods in the Indianapolis area to taste something new and meet new humans!
This is not a singles exclusive event. Open to anyone of all ages 18+.
As we work through the details, JOIN THE WAITLIST to be notified once we have our ducks in a row. We plan to roll this out in early 2026. Exact dates will be announced soon.
