The New York Times (7/18, Hotz) reports the organization Tea With Strangers is working to combat loneliness by inviting strangers “to chat for about two hours over tea.” The group now has 450 volunteer hosts in 15 cities. Users “can find local teatimes online and sign up for one of five slots.” Then, hosts “email those users with an introduction, location details and an emphatic ask not to flake.”
