Moving to a New City...

OP was at worst slightly poor, no need for the hate. I

'm in the UK and the first places I'd start looking to build up a social network would be the local pubs. If as the OP suggests that isn't in the equation I'm guessing looking for local clubs regarding your interests is the way to go. In general pubs/bars are the easiest way though. Alcohol is a social lubricant.
