meet for the first time?

You can only 'meet' people (or possibly animals) but not places. Get to know also implies some interaction with something living.

I'm going to see the new supermarket tomorrow.

I'm going to try the new supermarket tomorrow. (Implies shopping there as well as looking round).

HI nona thanks for your answer.Well im not too convinced because what i want to say is that im going to "know" the place for the first time,i mean isn't there a word like "meet" for ppl but for places that i can use to express that im going to see it for the first time?

thanks
daniel

thanks

Note:what about "get acquainted with the new supermarket"

I'm getting to know New York. / I'm getting to know my new computer.
