How do I make friends in NYC coming FT?

I am an incoming BB/MM FT analyst starting this month. I come from a non-target and have only a few friends in the city. I am 24 and moving into the city with my wife (FYI not looking to have kids or live a sedentary lifestyle anytime soon). I am looking to make friends and would love to know ways that any have you have tried in making friends and starting fresh in the city.
