We started in 2012 with the goal of building the best way to tap into local knowledge. Every city has passionate locals who love sharing the latest and greatest in their neighborhood. Varkala connects you with them.

How It Works

Varkala lets you connect with other passionate New Yorkers to get recommendations on restaurants, bars and other local gems around the city.
Use the Varkala app to find a local near you who can give recommendations on places to go.
Chat with other locals in real-time as they send you recommendations on places to go using the Varkala app.
All done? Varkala lets you rate your experience when you’re all finished.
