I mean, /r/bostonsocialclub can be a good start.

Why don't you tell us a bit about yourselves? What are you into? What brings you to Boston? You'd be surprised, I made a few friends just by replying to posts here.

Hey, nice shoutout.

So we're musicians, the wife being the professional, myself a hobbyist. We're in Boston for her Master's. I'm the typical 9-5'er while she's all over the place. So all in all, the option of once a month visit to some neat places may help.

She isn't making friends through school? That seems like the prime environment for making connections with people with similar interests, lack of established social circles, etc.

You should check out some open mics! I attend one on Monday nights at Porter Belly’s in Brighton

Well, you're welcome to message me.

I'm a married 30-something 9-5er, and side-hustle in music. Wife & I love live music, exploring restaurants & bars, standup comedy, travel. I do a bit of light console gaming, she reads a lot of books.

A lot of our regular circle of friends have moved to the suburbs in the last year or two - so we see them less. We like living in the city, so we're not going anywhere.

A very similar situation to OP in terms of moving to Boston. I'm traveling atm but if you guys do something in late January I'd totally be up for hanging out!

Also peep meetup. There are a lot of groups based on different sports/hobbies/interests! Most of the people I've met in the city have been through a running group on meetup.
