Where strangers become friends over shared plates.
It all started in our New York City apartment with close friends, and evolved into regular dinner parties where strangers gathered for an evening of new connections. That's how The Dinner Table was born!
In 2023, our small team of roommates-turned-founders hosted an intimate dinner party in their New York City apartment, aiming to make new friends and contribute to the communities they called home. Recognizing a shared desire for meaningful interactions, we opened our apartment doors to strangers, laying the foundation for The Dinner Table.
Today, The Dinner Table is a social dining community that curates weekly dinner parties across New York City, Washington DC, Los Angeles, and Miami. Our events are designed to transform strangers into friends through shared meals, engaging conversations, and a welcoming atmosphere. Each gathering features a thoughtfully crafted three-course, family-style dinner, seat rotations between courses to encourage new interactions, and conversation prompts to spark meaningful dialogue.
Whether you're new to the city or simply looking to expand your social circle, The Dinner Table offers a space to connect, share, and belong.
We started this community because we believe that the best connections happen when you share a meal. Whether you’re in a new city or looking for a new way to spend your time, our events are here for you. Every event is an invitation to discover new restaurants, spark conversations, and build friendships that go beyond a single night.
We recognize that putting yourself out there, in a new setting with strangers, can be a tall task. It's why we have so much admiration for the guests that come to be apart of our community. Thank you for bringing your energy, curiosity, and open-mindedness to The Dinner Table.
With Love,
The Dinner Table Team
