Meet other people who work from home or are otherwise at home weekdays at lunchtime. Working from home is terrific, but don't you also miss the social life of a busy office where lunch is often the high point of the day? We can bring our virtual office together to enjoy some conversation over a salad, pizza, white fish salad, burrito, sushi and any of the other foods Park Slope has to offer. We are busy individuals so being able to pickup some lunch close by in the neighborhood is important.

Our goal is to provide opportunities for people in and around the city to experience various sushi spots. We will organize mainly dinners, both at restaurants and perhaps in our homes. Some can just eat, but others might also want to learn how to make sushi. Either way, we will have fun! We will have dinners every ten days, alternating between more expensive and budget sushi spots. These places will generally be determined by YOU through our polls section or recommendations. Eat sushi and be h …

Few other cities boast the diverse array of ethnic enclaves and confluence of global cultures that New Yorkers routinely enjoy. And the representation of Japanese culture in New York City is no exception.

Our events include art exhibits, J-pop concerts, sake tastings, karaoke outings, book readings, lectures, language classes, …

Welcome to Kanpai NY's meetup page! Kanpai NY was created as a way for us to explore and share Japanese food, sake, and culture at the best Japanese restaurants and bars in NY.

Hello! This dinner group will focus on popular European cuisine (i.e. French, Italian, Spanish, etc.) as well as dabble in those with strong European influences (e.g. Argentinian, Haitian, Moroccan). This group will be modeled after the Sushi group in that anyone can attend from any background, and I won't have strict restrictions like other groups. My aim is to help gather people with a common interest; to eat well! I simply ask that you RSVP yes or no (no maybes), and show common courtesy to …

I decided to start this group because I moved to the area about 10 years ago and have had difficulty meeting people with the same interests. Or most of my friends from the area are married with children and if it isnt the spouse it's the kids that deter my friends from going out. So...I would like to see varied activities so we can gather a large group and maybe diversify the interests I am about to mention. How about a sushi night or a karaoke night or a night with both if we can find a venue. …

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 …

This group has been created to bring people together that love to sing in both Japanese and English to do Karaoke around New York City.  Occasionally, we go to other music and cultural events, such as festivals, street fairs, concerts, etc. Since our members speak both Japanese and English, or are learning either Japanese or English, our meetups will be bilingual (unless otherwise posted.)  We frequently use our meetups as a means of language exchange. Anyone who joins to sing only in English w …

Hi, my name is Beau and I started this group for anyone who wants to meet new people in Bayside and the surrounding areas (Douglaston, Fresh Meadows, Little Neck, Oakland Gardens, Whitestone, etc).

All ages are welcome, but for events where we might consume adult beverages, please be over 21. I try to pick venues that are big and not crowded …

Metafit is launching a nationwide effort to help you find an eating buddy or buddies in your area. What is an eating buddy? Eating buddies are new or old friends with whom YOU go out to share and enjoy a meal. This could be a long time friend or someone you meet through metafit magazine. We expect that you will share your meal and adhere, on your honor, to one rule. The rule is that you must always split in half one and only one Entré per sitting with your Other-Half Buddy no matter what you ord …

Let's get together to cook Japanese food. It is not difficult for you. All we have to do is knowing how to use some Japanese ingredients. It is simple and fun!! We can get the ingredients easily at Asian grocery store. Needless to say, Japanese food is healthy because of not using an oil. I will introduce how to make sushi, yakitori, okonomiyaki, oden, udon, japanese curry, miso-soup with pork, and so on. I don't like spending a lot of time for cooking, so my cooking is simple and I can give som …
