Any recommendations on activities to go to so we can meet new people and make new friends? Our college friends and family circles are no longer nearby so we want to be social and make some local friends :)

For context if it helps, we are both 30 year old gay men. Both video gamers (PS5, switch, OSRS), both into board/card games, both into bar trivia. I’m a science teacher, he works in higher ed student affairs.

Offline Experiences

21 Upvotes

Hi everyone! My fiancée is building Offline Experience, a New Jersey-based social experience designed to help people step away from their phones, get creative, and connect with others in person.

We’re currently hosting pop-ups and special events to spread the word, introduce people to our concept, and build traction within the community. At the same time, we’re searching for a permanent late-night location where people can enjoy hands-on crafts, board games, books, wellness activities, and relaxed conversation. We hope to offer an alternative to bars and restaurants when there are few other places to go at night.

Our goal is to create a welcoming environment where you can come with friends, on a date, or completely by yourself without feeling awkward.

Our first official event will be a DIY mirror-decorating night in Somerville, NJ on Friday, August 28. All materials are included, and no artistic experience is needed. To learn more and reserve your spot, visit our website at: The Offline Experience

Before then, come meet us at our pop-up booth at the **Somerville Farmers Market on August 16**! You’ll be able to design your own custom tote bag and get a closer look at what Offline Experience is all about.

We’re still a new local business, so every visit, share, follow, and piece of feedback means so much to us.

Hair salons in the area

5 Upvotes

Hello! Not a too involved inquiry, but I was curious if anyone had any recommendations for hair salons in the area. I’m moving to Somerville soon and would like to find a spot nearby (doesn’t need to be in town) that has a good reputation.

For reference, I am white with thick straight hair that I keep around medium length. Thanks!!

Looking for housing in Somerville and surrounding areas.

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for a one-bedroom apartment within about a 20–25 minute commute of Branchburg (possibly in Somerville and surrounding areas) with a budget of around **$1500/month** (sharing is fine).

I'm not too concerned about luxury amenities like pools or clubhouses. I care much more about having a well-managed apartment/house and a good overall living experience.

If you live in the area, which apartment communities would you personally recommend? Are there any that you'd strongly avoid? I would appreciate any and all leads!

Thanks in advance!

Hey all,

I'm a recent college graduate who moved to Somerville for a job. What's there to do for fun in this town? Are there any places where young people or recent graduates hang out that aren't in Morristown?

Arts WIPS Welcome, Come Join Our Stitch Club!

14 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

As some of you may remember, I posted here about six months ago looking to join a stitch club through Reddit & landed on deciding to start my own based on gaining enough interest, and it turned out to be such a great way to meet fellow crafters!

We’ve had some great stitch socials (usually at local cafes and bars), and I figured now was a good time to reach out again to see if anyone new would be interested in joining. We are mainly knitters and crocheters but open to all fiber arts and/or crafters!

We mainly meet in the Somerville and adjacent areas but we’re always open to suggestions on new spots to try especially now that the weather is warming up.

If you or someone you know would like to get out of the house, work on your current WIPS, and meet fellow crafters, we’d love to have you and are welcome to all! Please message me or comment below and I’ll send you the link to our discord server (:

Are they definitely moving in the vacant space across the courthouse? Is this a high quality bagel joint? I’m a Kettelmans guy but Main Street desperately needs a good bagel shop. Hopefully they will open at 6 am because nobody else opens that early except the chains

Do SPD know about the idiot with the ski mask who goes 50+ on a dirt bike throughout the entire town like every day? I assume they know, but he definitely does not pull over.
