Haha, it's possible that the author was making a half-joke, with the self-awareness that nearly no one's weekend is truly like that.

Though, if you do want a weekend like that at least once (hors d'œvre at least, maybe dancing in general, and at least one person to make accidental eye contact with), you can try to attend some startup launch or celebration event or a non-profit fundraising gala. The former might end up boring and the latter may be expensive for a ticket, but it's a great experience to better appreciate what you have at home (a computer to spend a lot of worthwhile time on, and also maybe family to spend time with).

Keep in mind that people are posting their highlight reels on Instagram but people do have weekends like that. Multiple weekends in a row, even. (Thursday is the new Friday.) It's part of what makes living in an expensive city worth all that extra cost and hassle, and all the downsides. It's not for everybody but some people choose and have the energy for that kind of lifestyle.

Yeah, it was probably on purpose. Presenting that as "you know, the sorts of normal things one may recall when one recalls any particular 'last weekend'" was pretty funny, certainly. Maybe for young idle-rich socialites or James Bond.
