I wanted to start a meet-up group for those of you who are usually embarassed to go out with your friends and start talking about what matters most in your lives... your feline companions. I know that personally whenever I am with my fellow crazy cat friends, all we end up talking about is our animals and the adorable and funny things they do - not to mention the animal welfare world in general (as well as our jobs, social lives, etc... we have not totally lost it (yet) to the animal world). I w …

Ciao! My name is Francesca. I decided to start this group because I'd like to meet people with the passion for Italian Food and Wine.

An Italian dish becomes a healthy choice and an absolute pleasure when shared among friends. If you are like me and can't stand being without tasty food and want to spend an evening in …

So eat at your own risks! :) This group may not be suitable for vegetarians. Rules: 1. If you RSVP "Going" but do not show up for three times, you will be remov …

This group is for people who want to experience many Asian foods and drinks with a focus on pub style cuisine.  Mainly basement sake bars and yakitori spots. But Izakaya is an umbrella group description as I have other events planned outside what would be described as an Izakaya. Things like tea & dessert, Korean BBQ, any local Far East events like movies and concerts. Also its not so much an "exchange" as you won't find any American style bars/eateries on the agenda. Sharing language and cultur …

I see so many great food-related festivals and events going on in NYC throughout the year, but I believe I probably miss out on even more that I never hear about! So I thought it would be fun to put together a group to keep each other informed of events and hang out at them.

There are a ton of meetup groups with the word dinner in them. But I have found most to be laden with ridiculous rules, paying fees to the organizer or "pay in advance". I have had amazing success with now two "pop up" group dinners and figure it's time I officially organize my own. Trust that I will always be open to many cuisines and restaurant suggestions. Age, occupation, where you reside is irrelevant to me! And I will always consider price range at any place chosen. My only " rule" ? Don't …
