Three local Hartford area guys were recently written up in The Hartford Courant for their website that they have created called ChirpMe.com. There is no fee to join the site, the only requirement is to have a facebook account. It's a unique idea...to link people up through their dining preferences. As Jon Viner, 25, and co-creator of ChirpMe said, “There needs to be a better way to meet people, a more natural way.” In the article he also said, “We’re matching people up based on restaurants that people want to go to anyway,” Viner said. “So, why not share that experience with someone else in town? That takes the pressure off the [online] profile.”
So far, there are a bunch of downtown and West Hartford restaurants that are participating in offering coupons for couples dining together. Although you don't have to use the deals for that purpose. Some of the spots are; Bin 228, Churrascaria Braza, Dish Bar & Grill, Trumbull Kitchen and Vito’s by the Park, Feng’s Asian Bistro, Grants Restaurant and Bar, Ichiro Hibachi and Sushi, Max’s Oyster Bar, Uncorked: The Wine Tasting Bistro and Vito’s on the Water in Windsor.
I think these guys have gotten pretty innovative with this idea. After all, what better way to meet somebody then over a shared love of food?!? So check it out and let me know what you think. I'd love to hear dining and meeting stories that happen as a result of this thing called ChirpMe!
