Every month, we will post links to three unrelated web pages, often just Wikipedia entries, to discuss at dinner. People are to read these articles (and other sources if they so wish) and come and have dinner to discuss them. The intent is that this REQUIRED reading will take about half an hour to 2 hours.
The idea is to be like a book club, but with far more modest demands on peoples' time.
RSVP's will be limited.
There will also be a focus on having a nice meal from a variety of international cuisines. We will only go to restaurants that agree in advance to do separate checks. Specific information about the price of a restaurant (if not a link to an online menu) will be provided.
The group size of these meetings is small, so no-shows are a problem. Canceling less than 24 hours before an event is effectively a no-show, because the people who replace you won't have time to learn their RSVP turned to a "yes", change their plans, and do the reading. Therefore we will be throwing no-shows and late cancelations out of the group.
We got mentioned in Time Out New York! http://newyork.timeout.com/articles/own-this-city/78486/j...

You can have an entree and a beer for less than $20, not including tax & tip. Look for us in the TWO back rooms. Read more

“I'm a Wikipedia-phile and I love good conversation. I'm also a master procrastinator and these dinners seem like the perfect events to meet others who are similarly [pre]occupied! :)”
