An outdoor space might be nice, as well.

As a Brit, I would have to say that a pub is a good place to socialise. Much better than a church, the have S&V crisps as well.

I’ve enjoyed the Sunday Assembly in Boston but it’s a hike into the city that makes it something I haven’t done much. I do wish there were more local such assemblies.

Hi Melody-I live in Merrimack, NH-Locals could meet for coffee or a meal or at someone's house-meet and greet?

Whatever ones into. I've tried the local atheist meetup groups here... but they deff were not my style. :/

I feel that libraries are a good way to connect. Lots of books encompassing everyone's interests, plus movies and some events if your library is a decent one. They're quiet and unassuming, and have lots of comfy chairs. At least mine do.

we drink

I’m super lucky to have found a gaming store nearby that recently acquired the adjacent building and partnered with a local brewery to serve beer! Now we get to drink while we game and toast our victories with a mug of ale! The brewery is Lovecraft themed as well, so bonus points!

Bars are of course the classic social spot, but they can be expensive. I also spend my Saturdays st the city park. Bring a board game, a pet, or just go for a walk and perhaps make a few friends!
