All are welcome. Couples, single …

This group is for people who would rather entertain in their own home than go out to a restaurant for fun.  If you don't have the room for entertaining then that's ok but you need to be willing to contribute food and drink on a regular basis when other members hold events in their homes.  The idea is for someone to host a get together (dinner party, wine tasting, movie night, barbecue, whatever) and determine a "theme". The host(ess) generally  provides the main dish and the others bring theme o …

A Place for those singles out there, of all ages and both genders, that may have busy lives (or not), to make arrangements for dinner and/or some other activity!  It is also possibly a great way to meet with a smaller group as some people don't enjoy going to large group meetings.  If you prefer a smaller social setting you must state this in your post.  If you would like a larger group then in your post you will want to state something like "open to all that are interested in joining me" in you …

The Dupont Circle Reading Railroad is a literature club centered on discussion, friendship, wine and exploration of various mediums (poetry, graphic novels, stories, film, theater).

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.

Slow Food is a non-profit, eco-gastronomic member-supported organization that was founded in 1989 to counteract fast food and fast life, the disappearance of local food traditions and people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from, how it tastes and how our food choices affect the rest of the world. To do that, Slow Food brings together pleasure and responsibility, and makes them inseparable.

Events will include the standard wine …

I believe in a world where food is the keyhole to learning about different cultures and traditions. I want to meet anyone who can keep an open mind to trying exotic cuisine (chicken feet anyone?!), and would like to learn more about how food and culture are intertwined. I certainly am not an expert on every type of cuisine, so if you can teach us something about food and culture, your presence would be appreciated! We will meet up every two weeks to sample a variety of cuisine (including drinks! …

Do you live in NoVA and love fresh, locally grown foods and locally produced wines and spirits?
