@i8NYC presents: EUPHORIA is our newest dining group where we meticulously curate harder to book reservations with no more than 8 members per dinner, plus Exclusive Perks and Discounts, VIP Events for Loyal Members! Some places do not allow for larger groups so these dinners will be smaller in scale which means your attendance counts that much more! Warning: OUR DINNERS FILL UP FAST!!! If you like explore new cuisines together with like minded food enthusiasts in a smaller group, look no further! We also rebirthed @i8NYC presents: FOODGASM where we used to go out EVERY NIGHT. You will come to find out that we are the most active group with the BEST places. We also started a new chapter with @i8NYC presents: AGAPE where if you love to serve others, you're in the right place! Heck, join all 3!

We are heading to K-Town! Soy Marinated Crab Better than Rice Thief? Not going for Dinner due to paltry dessert review. Oncheon is a Korean spot with a laser focus on well-being and personal health, designed to be a calm oasis from the city, given its hot-springs-inspired decor. Their take on shabu-shabu, with slowly simmered broth served with plenty of mix-ins, is particularly worthy of a trip here. Please be ON TIME! 😊

We are heading to JBF Platform! An Evening with Celebrated Chef and Author Claudette Zepeda. Celebrate the release of Cooking the Borderlands: Spice and Smoke Between Mexico and the States with Chef, Author, and Top Chef alumna Claudette Zepeda. Save on the flight to/from California! ✈️ Zepeda’s new cookbook traces a deeply personal journey across the borderlands, starting on the Pacific Coast where chef Zepeda grew up crossing back and forth between San Diego and Tijuana, and heading east through the Sonoran Desert.
This evening’s menu shares the recipes of her upbringing and travels that bridge the nomadic legacy of her grandmother—who learned the regional dishes of nearly every state in Mexico—with the multicultural, third-culture cuisine born at the border. Driven by the balance of regional spices and smoke, the dishes highlight this rich cultural exchange, from the unexpected Cantonese–Szechuan flavors of Mexicali’s La Chinesca to the rugged traditions of desert vaqueros. Each course brings the culinary anthropology of her highly anticipated book straight to the plate and honors the matriarchs who shaped her craft.
Copies of Cooking the Borderlands: Spice and Smoke Between Mexico and the States will be available for purchase with tickets and at the event from our friends at Kitchen Arts & Letters.Cost: ~$200
Menu: (TBD)
