I love food. Cooking it, eating it, talking about it, reading about it, watching shows about it. But I’ve had trouble finding people around my age in this city who like to make this a part of their daily life AND are looking for friends that are interested in the same. This is a group for those who want to explore all forms of food the DC area has to offer (restaurants, specialty stores, etc.), cook and bake for others, and meet new people in their 20s and early 30s who want to do the same. We c …

“Let's get together for some outside deck or rooftop dinner parties, backyard BBQs, picnics, garden parties or relaxing around the living room fireplace sharing in organic fare with good people and even better conversation; creating small group Real Food socializing that will spontaneously spread like wildfire to other communities locally.  If you care about the source of our food and wish to learn more; and if you believe A-list music, food and fun bring people together; join the GMO Free DC co …

We just really like airports, and we wish we had an excuse to hang out in them when we weren't flying.

This is both a social and working group for those who want to sample and explore the DC area while letting loose our creative juices. The goal is to have regularly scheduled meet ups at different locations in DC where we can sketch, draw, paint, or play with our medium of choice, discuss and offer constructive feedback …

It's easy to halve the potato where there's love. The whole idea behind my supper club was to have “family style” dinners which means that each participant is treated as family. I want to create an atmosphere where people feel comfortable, enjoy dinner conversation and a good meal. In today’s fast-paced world, it’s hard for people to slow down, sit down and enjoy dinner. This is my attempt to bring this tradition back – at least in my home. I miss having people to eat with, I believe strongly t …

Do you love brunch but hate getting up early in the morning? Do you live in DC or are you willing to come into DC for brunch? Do you want to meet new people and expand your social circle, while eating the best meal of the day? Do you promise that if you RSVP yes you will show up? If so, this group is for you! I will schedule brunches as often as interest allows. Since it's hard to seat large groups, I'll keep the brunches to 8-10 people max, unless we find places that can easily seat or take res …

Whether you are a California native, or just lived there for a while, this is your group! Make friends with others who know that 'On The Border' isn't real Mexican food, and that a 3.5 earthquake isn't anything to flip out over. :) Meetups will mostly be held around Northern Virginia (Arlington, Alexandria, Falls Church, Fairfax, Tyson's, Reston) and DC, but of course we welcome members from Maryland as well! Our members are mostly in their late 20s, 30s and early 40s, love happy hours, dining …

This is a group for people who are interested in not only drinking great wine but learning about it as well. Let's plan events that are fun and educational. Let's find out why Chardonnay tastes different in Burgundy then it does in Napa. What wines should we drink now or lay down for 20 years? Let's find out together while drinking great wine and having fun. This is a group for wine enthusiasts of all levels who want to learn more about what's in our glass. Events will include the standard wine …

Do you want to explore Washing DC Metro and the World?

This group are for people seriously committed to releasing weight (I use the word release because that which you "lose" you have a tendency to find again. I've released nearly 45 pounds in the last 7 months or so. It's been a journey where over the course of my life I've "lost" and "refound" :) nearly 100 pounds. This group is about making new connections who support this journey through fun meetups at healthy and GOOD local eating establishments (clean eating), fun Zumba/Kickboxing classes, jui …

This group was created for the 20s-30s Northern Va woman who is new in town(or has been here for awhile) and wants to make new friends. While there are some great groups out there, I've noticed that they either grew quite large and the meetups filled up quickly or some of the meetups were occurring less and less. This group enjoys happy hours, brunches, dinners, movies, outdoor activities, trips, etc. We have a calendar full of upcoming events, so find one that interests you and join in :) Thank …

Instead of England's early Sunday dinner, a postchurch ordeal of heavy meats and savory pies, why not a new meal, served around noon, that starts with tea or coffee, marmalade and other breakfast fixtures before moving along to the heavier fare? By eliminating the need to get up early on Sunday, brunch would make life brighter for Saturday-night carousers. It would promote human happiness in other ways as well. Brunch is cheerful, sociable and inciting. It is talk-compelling. It puts you in a go …

I love the UX community here in the DC area and I'd like to have a way to keep us meeting throughout the year. The UX Dinner DC group will have a slight structure to its meetups - we pick a UX-oriented topic for each meal, try and loosely stick to the topic as we eat, drink and be merry, and network with other UX-types. I'd like to keep the meal group meetups small (no more than 8 people) for a couple of reasons - the first being that it's easier to get reservations for 8 or less; second, I thi …

An opportunity for LGBT professional women-who work downtown-to spice up their day with dash of social life. Bon appetite.

Hello all! I love hosting, cooking (and am especially good at Korean cooking -helps to be Korean) and eating. We would be cooking a few Korean dishes and each meetup will be different. Anyone who would like to learn these dishes or just want to watch and eat! We have a limit of 9 members each meetup. Each meetup we try to feature a different Korean dish. Some dishes are adventerous and will require an acquired taste bud and other dishes are instantly savory so come experiment!  We will eat alot …

"Wine is something larger than we might imagine. Wine is passion. It's family and friends. It's warmth of heart and generosity of spirit. Wine is culture and refinement. And wine is the very essence of civilization and what we mean by the Art of Living." -Robert Mondavi Calling all those in the Washington DC metro area that love to drink and learn about great wine and enjoy everything that accompanies it – great food, travel, culture, building friendships, great conversations, laughter and mem …
