What is the best app to find people to hangout with in a new city?
As I travel often or work remotely, I have this problem of having not many connections in new cities. Let's say I'd love to have a morning coffee or hang out on Friday evening. Twitter works great, but not always. What do you use in such cases?

- This is what I used when I moved to San FranciscoZorka KovacevichZorka Marketing + Promotion · WrittenMeetup is the most fabulous way to meet "like-minded" people. That's what it was created to do and does very well as you can setup your search for events to attend before you travel; join groups and RSVP to their Meetups.

- Thalassa van BeekOnline Marketing | Digital Nomad · WrittenI travel a lot, too, and I think there are some great Facebook groups to meet up with people. I personally like the digital nomads groups and active groups for travel lovers. Let me know if you want some specific names of groups I like, but you can also easily find them with the search function.Nivas RavichandranStartup Partnerships at Freshworks · WrittenI think Facebook Groups for the city is a great way to identify groups, meetups and events happening in a particular city.

- thomas rossStartup analyser and investor · WrittenThe correct answer is clearly Yelp. Nothing is even close. Yelp's coverage is really thorough with a giant reviewing community that writes really helpful reviews. Also, the mobile app is great -- great for search, great for looking through reviews, etc. On Yelp, you get good information from both aggregate data and individual reviews. The reviews are super-fresh -- kept up-to-date. The only other thing I can think of that's very useful is Google Maps, which helps with proximity and map-based searches.
