The Friendship Corner by Flash Pack will offer a reprieve from New York’s hustle and bustle, instead creating a space for strangers to come together and get to know each other.

The free to the public, intimate space – which was designed to help New Yorkers come as strangers and leave as friends – deliberately has no Wi-Fi connection, screens, or other distractions. Instead, it is kitted out with just two chairs and a pack of ‘conversation starter’ cards to help break the ice.

Those who participate in The Friendship Corner, will be rewarded with an invite to a series of friendship-making events in collaboration with local partners including Slow Girl Run Club, No More Lonely Friends, Christopher Street Tours, and more – participants will have the opportunity to connect with New Yorkers no matter what their passion.

The weekly event programming includes activities throughout the month of May and June to mark Mental Health Awareness Month and Men’s Mental Health month.

The Friendship Corner by Flash Pack can be found at 169 West 10th Street.
