Student from out of town

I interviewed another student who is from new york and likes attending events especially charity events or food festivals. She checks for them only once in a month and actually attends one once in a quarter. She finds it difficult to find the right kind if events especially to know if the events are as good as they sound. She prefers going to events with a friend but will attend a event alone as long as it is educational in some way. She would definitely use an app to find events but wouldnt use it very often. She will pay for it but no more than a one time few of 2.99
