About After-Hours Drop Off
Our Journey and Mission
After-Hours Drop Off was born in 2017 from a simple yet powerful idea: to provide timely, reliable, and unbiased news coverage of after-hours events that often go unnoticed by mainstream media. Founded by a team of passionate journalists and tech enthusiasts, our website has become a trusted source for exploring the vibrant nightlife and hidden gems that cities offer beyond regular business hours.
Our Story
In an era where digital platforms dominate news consumption, we identified a gap in coverage for niche, after-hours activities. Many local events, pop-up markets, late-night dining experiences, and cultural performances were being overlooked by traditional media outlets. Recognizing this opportunity, our founders aimed to create a dedicated space that would bring these unique occasions to the forefront.
Over the years, we’ve celebrated numerous milestones:
- 2018: Launch of our mobile app, making it easier for users to discover and engage with after-hours events on the go.
- 2019: Collaboration with local businesses to feature exclusive discounts and promotions for our readers, fostering a sense of community.
- 2020: During the global pandemic, we shifted our focus to highlight safe, outdoor after-hours activities, ensuring our content remained relevant and helpful.
- 2022: Expansion of our team to include dedicated contributors from diverse backgrounds, enriching our coverage with fresh perspectives.
