The best way to make friends is to find some sport or social club and join in. Friendships should develop over time, as you see people frequently in a relaxed setting. A good idea here is to join a social sports team -- in New Zealand I'd recommend you play rugby, but I don't know what you play in America. If you don't like sport, that's cool. Just find something that you're interested in, and find some pre-existing group of people that is formed around this common interest, and join in.
