I’ll be honest with you. The only way I have ever met people in Stamford is through meetup.com. I do have one friend from my gym, and I’ve had some nice roommates, but Stamford did not deliver on the friendship front until I went onto meetup.com.
I now have friends from my meetup.com book club, but there are dozens of local meetup groups you can try. Here are some interesting ones:
- The Stamford Movie Fans Meetup Group
- Darien lovers of South American food
- Karaoke Lovers of CT
- The Stamford Scrabble Meetup Group
- Fairfield County Board Games (meets up this Tues at 6)
- Fairfield County Wingmen (I would think this group is a joke, except that I have randomly met the organizer, and he was very friendly. I’m not sure I’d use him as my wingman, though, as his exuberant personality might be a bit of a scene-stealer.)
- The Fairfield County Couples Going out Group
- Southwestern Connecticut Fun and Games Meet Up Group
- STAMFORD DINING & ACTIVITIES Meetup Group
- Stamford Social, Single & New in Town 20's to 40's Meetup
- The 35-45 Single Women's Weekend Meetup Group
- The Fairfield County Pug Meetup Group
Meetup now charges organizers a monthly fee of $19, or $228 per year. Annoying, but it cuts down on junk groups so the site isn't swamped with dead groups. Usually group members help the organizer with a 1 $ donation at each meeting.
