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.
- Chris Messina11Product designer & entrepreneur · WrittenDepending on what you're into (i.e. partying, clubbing, etc), this can be a useful way to find a local crowd to hang with.

- 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 Ravichandran3Product Marketing - Freshsales CRM · WrittenI think Facebook Groups for the city is a great way to identify groups, meetups and events happening in a particular city.
- Patrick BollenbachI make websites · Written100% the best way to meet people quickly. I've used it in Bali, Singapore, Toronto, Berlin... instantly meet up with people, locals and travelers. I honestly use this every few days when I get bored, it's great.

I use the couchsurfing app all the time. It is how I made the large network (of English speaking) people that I have since moving abroad. I go to their weekly meetups, picnics, and other events as well meet people through the hangout when I'm bored. I've stayed with two hosts and meet up with other travelers and locals when I'm traveling as well as meet on a separate trip with one of those travelers. Recommend to anyone who wants to expand their horizons, meet interesting people, and become a global citizen.

- Arif AkhmedzadeTRANZZO LTD. · WrittenNice app from facebook, uses also geolocation and has all necessary information.
- 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.
