Jared Nissim
THE LUNCH CLUB is the remedy for the thousands of New Yorkers tired of eating alone.
Jared Nissim, a technical writer, started the club two years ago simply because he was tired of munching solo.
Nissim lived in the East Village where he worked as a freelance technical writer from home. He often called friends for lunch but they couldn’t always make it, so he even tried slipping notes under the doors of fellow apartment dwellers, asking them if they might be interested in informal lunch gatherings. Finally Nissim posted ad on the activity pals section of Craigslist, a popular online classifieds site, asking if anyone wanted to have lunch.
“I didn’t see my needs met personally, it was entirely selfish in the beginning, I wanted to meet people,” says Nissim. It turned out that many New Yorkers shared his need.
“I just think people want to meet each other. These days people are seeking connection, real genuine relationships,” he added. “It’s a lonely city and people are isolated here.”
The club grew organically and now has hundreds of members. Nissim estimates that more than 6,000 people have been to a club gathering, and, thanks to publicity from the media and exposure on other online sites such as Eventsme.com, about 100 new members join every month.
The gatherings have grown from lunch at The Sidewalk Café in the East Village to lunch, dinner, drinks and activities several times a week all around the city. Activities have included salsa dancing, trips to museums, ice-skating, dart throwing, and pool playing.
Membership is free and the recently revamped site allows members to post profiles and photos. In addition to the events that the club hosts, members can post requests to have gatherings with people in their own neighborhoods. In general, a dozen people show up at the lunches and several dozen show up at the activities or events.
With the club’s growing popularity, Nissim quit his job as a technical writer and made The Lunch Club his life. He makes money by charging extra for special gatherings; for example, a Saturday meal at a restaurant will be $25.
“We build a little cost in for the lunch club and it’s not a lot, but I really feel very strongly about the strong slow organic route,” he says. “I’m not doing this to make millions of dollars.”
The club has served as a refuge for people on major holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas and Valentine’s Day. On Christmas Day, for example, the club held a buffet feast at a Chinese restaurant. Nissim’s next goal is to bring The Lunch Club to San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and Denver; he will hire local organizers in each city.
Nissim said his true inspiration for the club came from his childhood. He spent his summers at a kibbutz in Israel where his father is from. “It’s a small sustaining community, and the unique thing is that people eat together,” he recalls. “Subconsciously I borrowed that a little and modeled it after it.”
One thing that Nissim is strict about is that The Lunch Club is not for finding dates. Although a number of members have become good friends, and some have found their soul mates through the club, Nissim says that Lunchclubbers are all ages and range from college students to retirees, to singles to married couples; the purpose is to meet cool people and make friends, he says.
Nissim’s job is now to organize the gatherings and serve as a facilitator at them. “I don’t consider it my job, I come to view my life’s work as creating relationships,” he says, as he makes his rounds at a recent gathering, shaking hands and introducing himself. “I sit back and watch things take shape.”
