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.
