Grocery store, liquor store, basement.
Hiking, socialist work or socialist socializing, friends, that’s mostly it
Nice.
Grocery store if I need to just get out.
Thrift stores if I’ve got more time.
Driving out to a restaurant far outside of town if I’ve got more time.
Gym and dog parks.
Park, plant nursery, or Sonic- an American fast food restaurant where you drive up and park or they have a couple of outside tables and it’s pretty good for people watching.
I really wish we had more restaurants like Sonic. Not taste-wise, their food is awful. But I like the drive-in experience.
I wanna try a drive-in movie! But I guess they were before my time… :(
I’ve only been to one once, but it was fun! It’s not the best experience for actually watching the movie, but there’s a slight party vibe that’s very energetic. I wish they’d make a comeback.
Where are you? We have a couple in the Dallas-Fort Worth atea.
I like natural areas on the whole but also cityscapes. Riding the metro system with something read can be nice to. Belonging to a maker space is nice to. Its like one of those old timey social clubs but cheap and with a cool art/craft vibe.
why all of your answers relatively the same and rather un-unique?
What would you like me to say instead? I don’t give long-winded replies but I do read every comment on my posts.

If you want something more consistent join a group especially one organized around a common activity. When I moved to a new city I joined a local game stores weekly DnD game. It was $5 per week and we played in person every week. It was the same rotating cast so it was fun to meet the same people.
I just joined a running group. While a few are crazy distance runners who do multiple marathons a year, including those who do multiple ultra-marathons a year, there are more casual people like me. Its great to exercise every week and then we get to chat afterwards when we go out for food. These are common in most cities and there might even be more than 1 to try out.
The great things about these groups is you can skip a week without any issue and then just join back in. A shared interest allows you to chat about that as a jumping off point. Also some of these are a wide age range which is interesting to see people in different stages of life.
Great idea about joining local groups. There’s an adult kickball group in my area that has a lot of members/teams.
They are generally sports related but anything will do. Its great since its weekly you just have standing plans with the same people. Also people go there specifically to meet people and there is an established group
gotta find hella spots in your city to chill with yourself or someone. Also finding some cool places to drive around, go shopping at random small trinket stores or smoke

Since we got the baby I can’t do it anymore but especially when I was single it was one of my favorite things to do. I had a semi professional photo camera and I would go out and do street photography. I would go to another city for a daytrip just to do that.
Local arboretum and other gardens are nice. Parks. Boating, if the weather is right for it.
It’s also common for arboretums (and other museums) to have free days once a month, if you want to visit on the cheap.
The arboretum near me is free, so I’m lucky that way. Other gardens have a small fee to enter.
Political organising and the occasional house party/social event. Sometimes I just go for a walk/wander about, have found some interesting places that way.
With an achilles injury and a great apartment, I’m only leaving for shopping and various appointments. Why the hell else would I go out in this mess? :-D
