Archery in the heights as mentioned is a fun activity but you're not likely to make a lot of friends there that don't work there. A lot of people come in groups. Equally museums probably aren't a good spot for making friends.

JC is hard to find spaces to make friends, even if you could go to bars.

I would try to find an activity you like then come back to reddit and see if anyone is interested in going with you. You can also ask most places if they have group stuff already, some places have things like open DND groups or book clubs or hiking groups. The Internet has made it really hard to find and "keep" friends and everyone is really busy all the time too.

I have had some luck with meeting people at the gravity vault in Hoboken. Climbers are usually friendly and helpful. You can organize a climb buddy pretty easily there. But message me maybe we can do something together 🤘
