New Apps for Finding Great People & Places in NYC
It’s no surprise you can use your phone to navigate big city life and there are two new apps that are great to help you find fun people and places to go.
First, Revido is a great new app that allows you to share products and suggest places to go with friends. What’s unique about Revido is that it allows you to get genuine reviews from our friends instead of untrustworthy mass reviews. People you know recommend things, so you feel good knowing you can actually trust the reviews. Plus, on Revido, you can make lists, ask questions to help plan the perfect night out or get suggestions for your next vacation.

You learn a lot about someone based on the places they like to spend time, so Grid is a cool new dating app where users first select the places they love or want to try, then see other people who want to go on dates at those same places. What also makes Grid different from the typical swiping apps is even if you’re not looking for a partner, you can still use it for discovering where people like to go in your own or nearby neighborhood. Download the app here and follow @griddating on socials. #getonthegrid!
Revido & Grid Recs for a Fun Night Out
Here’s just a sample of some of Revido’s top picks. Check out the app for more ideas!
For a healthy meal that will get you energized and feeling great for a long night of dancing and socializing, check out Salad Joon that just opened in Essex Market. It offers a menu full of Persian-inspired ingredients like pomegranate, roasted beets, pistachios, saffron, and more.
After dinner head to an Alphabet City staple for delicious drinks and warm hospitality at The Summit Bar & Cafe . We’d suggest the espresso martini (seriously, you have to try it). Unpretentious yet upscale, “Summit” is optimally lit for conversation amongst friends and is organized in a way that invites conversation with other patrons.
After you’re properly libated, walk over a few blocks to a trendy new East Village spot called Waiting on a Friend. The bar is the perfect go-to destination for all your nightlife needs—amazing cocktails, fun music for dancing, and living room-like lounge areas for catching up with friends.
So, start filling your social calendar now. Thanks to amazing new apps like Revido and Grid your big city life will be busier than ever!
