Whoever reported my comment for using a curse word for effect, thanks loads 🙄
There is nothing "disrespectful" about this advice and I've taken the big scary F word out of it:

Failproof strategy:
- 3 bars: 1 near your home, 1 near work, 1 in a fun neighborhood you like to chill. Become a regular. Get to know the staff and regulars (this expands your network and adds randomness)
- 2-3 hobbies: follow your passions. Seek experience that is inherently intimate, or inspirational, or physical -- because these bring people together (fitness class, dance lessons, urban foraging hike, storytelling podcast, museum tours, shows, whatever). TALK AFTER!
3 - just be a new yorker. Don't just be on the receiving end of cool stuff. Similar to above, ask yourself: am I merely interestED or interestING?

Date friends of friends you meet via the above

Birthday plan (place to go and place to eat) suggestions for my husband? Been together a long time. We recently went to Cote for a nice dinner but that is something along the lines of what we like to do.

He’s an athlete (in case this helps with activity suggestions), so likes being active, but also like cerebral activities like puzzles, etc.

We are new to the city and I am at a loss with all the options. We are young, in our v early 30’s. Open to Soho, Brooklyn, FiDi, Midtown.

I love sunny weather so much; it significantly elevates my mood, which is a free lunch! The summer in NY was amazing but considering taking a precautionary step for the winter by relocating for a couple/few months to a sunny place like Miami. My job accommodates this.

TIA!
