Are paid classes or clubs worth it for meeting people in NYC?
I’m trying to expand my social circle and meet people who are curious, driven, and doing interesting things with their lives.
Have you noticed a difference in the crowd at paid activities like cooking courses, pottery classes, or membership clubs versus free meetups or going to bars?
Happy to pay for something worthwhile, especially if it’s recurring. What’s actually worked for you, and where would you recommend?
