Finding the Right 'Hangout'


Where you ‘hangout’ can say a lot about who you are.  This isn't always the case but it is likely that you will see a ‘specific’ crowd depending on which restaurant or bar you choose to visit.  This week’s article is going to focus on how you can find new ‘hang outs’ and meet any type of person you want!

It’s important to find a location that reflects how you want to be seen.  If you are a business professional and are looking to network or meet other professionals you should stick to more ‘elegant’ restaurants and bars located near business areas.  It’s also important to pick your visiting times wisely.  Going out at 10pm will attract a different crowd than going out at 5pm.  The most important thing is to find a place that you feel comfortable in.  Is the staff nice, is the ambiance relaxing, are the people there the type of crowd you want to associate yourself with?
There are tons of websites out there that help you find locations and recommendations.  I've listed a few useful sites below that can help you find a fun atmosphere.

Sosh is a really cool and simple site that shows tons of fun activities and includes reviews and details on all different types of restaurants.

Yelp is the most popular site for customer reviews.  You’re able to see pictures and reviews regarding specific locations.

Looking for something with a little more tempo?  Party Earth is a very informative site with tons of details about upcoming events and restaurant specials.

Now you have the tools to find fun places and events.  You can either check out some of these locations on your own or you can join HowAboutADate.com and meet others that are interested in similar locations and activities(having company sounds much more fun!).
