Kick off your Spring semester with sweet moments of meeting new friends and enjoying some of Upper Manhattan’s best desserts! Join us for Dessert with Strangers, an event designed to spark meaningful connections over tasty treats, trivia, and conversation. 

As you’re meeting new people, familiarize yourself with local bites from The Hungarian Pastry Shop, Dear Mama, and Insomnia Cookies (and more!), so come hungry and ready to mingle!

Between bites and trivia, enjoy an easygoing setting made for meeting new people.

All students are welcome. Entry is first come, first served until we reach capacity or run out of supplies. 

The event is part of Welcome Week, which is a series of events that are free and open to all students.
