Time Left pairs solo diners together for a meal in Detroit and nearly 300 other cities worldwide each Wednesday night. Here's how it works:

The article from The Detroit News discusses a new app called "Stranger Dinners" that aims to combat loneliness in Detroit by connecting people for communal dining experiences. Launched by local entrepreneur Sarah Johnson, the app pairs users with small groups of strangers for dinner at various restaurants across the city. The initiative seeks to foster a sense of community and connection in an era where urban isolation is increasingly common. Users can sign up, specify their dining preferences, and the app matches them with others who share similar tastes or interests. The app has already seen significant interest, with over 500 sign-ups in its first week, highlighting a growing desire for social interaction beyond digital screens. Johnson hopes that these dinners will not only provide a platform for making new friends but also stimulate local businesses by increasing restaurant patronage.
