Wikipedia and International Cuisine in NYC
|
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 idea 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, and all RSVP's where the person fails to state "I have done the reading" will be canceled by the organizer (people are welcome to do the reading and re-RSVP in that case). Most of the discussion meetups I attend meet in seedy diners, in this one there will also be a focus on also 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. We will be limiting membership to keep the size of the club from getting out of hand which tends to happen to dining meetups. We will be looking for an older crowd.
