Find your people! If you meet someone out and about whose humor and interests align with yours, then exchange numbers and find ways to meet their friends, too. When my partner moved here to live with me, it took about 8 months for him to find dudes that he wanted to watch football with and go to happy hours. And he found his people through a friend of a friend.

And it doesn't have to be one friend group. Make lots of friends! Not every friendship works out forever and you don't want to feel obligated to maintain a friendship if they didn't turn out to be who you thought they were.

And try new cuisines! Put it in your budget. Food is one of the best perks in this city.
