Hey recent college grads,

We’re going to be launching a series of blog posts over the next week on how to get plugged into your new city and enjoy all the hidden gems it has to offer. Our posts will cover the major cities  that Coffee Meets Bagel is also in – NYC, Boston, Washington DC, Chicago, LA, and SF.
We’re starting off with the first city we launched in – the Big Apple. While it sounds, well, big and intimidating, these 6 local websites can help you get adjusted and channel your inner Jay-Z.
Hail down a cab with Hailo Cab
