Built for people who love NYC's independent arts and cultural scene, the Come w/ app connects New Yorkers who are already planning to attend the same event.

Whether it's experimental jazz, an off-off-Broadway play, repertory cinema, a gallery opening, or an author talk, you shouldn't have to miss out—or go alone—just because the people in your life aren't interested.

How It Works

1.  Add the event you want to attend.

2.  Choose friends, romance, or both, and make a short profile.

3.  Meet people who chose the same event and the same kind of connection.

4.  Message, figure out the details, and go.

The chat has an expiration date. On purpose.

It closes at noon the day after your final shared event — because the point is to get to the event, not stay on the app.

No endless swiping. No manufactured common ground. Start with the event. See where it goes.

◆What is Come w/?

◆ FAQs ◆

◆What does “Come w/” mean?

Exactly what it sounds like: “Come with?” — an open invitation to join someone at something you both want to attend.

◆How are matches made?

There’s no compatibility algorithm. You’re shown people who chose the same event and whose friendship/romance settings align with yours.

◆Do I need to have a ticket already?

No. For each event, choose either “Have a Ticket” or “Wanna Go,” so you can connect whether you’ve booked already or are still deciding.

◆Why do chats expire?

Because the point is to get to the event — not stay on the app. Chats stay open through your final shared event and close automatically at noon the following day, giving you time to coordinate and follow up without creating another endless inbox.

◆What kinds of events will be included?

Come w/ focuses on New York’s niche, independent, and underground cultural scene: off-off-Broadway, experimental jazz, repertory and independent film, gallery openings, dance, classical music, author talks, museum events, and more.
