What we’re about
This group mainly consists of Xennial members (there's no strict age cutoffs) and similar minded individuals who would like to meet for delicious meals and have deep conversations on various current topics. Xennials are those born on the cusp between GenX and Millennials with an analog childhood and digital young adulthood, "seeing the past in one eye and the present in the other".
We will meet weekly in general to dine at eclectic and reasonably-priced NYC restaurants. Dinners will have an attendance limit to facilitate conversation and connections. We'll pick spots in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and occasionally will venture to Bronx, S.I., and heavens forbid New Jersey😜. Meals will be family style or a la carte depending on cuisine and location.
Group SOP:
1. We mostly do family style meals with listed menu split evenly, any additional items, drinks, dessert etc. are your own responsibility.
2. Unless service is truly atrocious, a 20% tip will be added to the bill including a la carte meals.
3. Please bring cash or have a Venmo/Zelle account.
4. Please have a clear meetup profile picture of your face for easier identification.
5. Please add events you signup for to calendar even if waitlisted.
6. 3 No shows and you are out, this includes changing RSVP less than 48 hours before the event.
7. Will contact the rsvp list for confirmation ~3 days before events, a lack of prompt response can result in the spot be given to others.
8. Posted menu may change depending on availability, bad size/review or head count to keep in budget. Bring a few $ just in case.
9. For shared meals, please be considerate of the table. Unless individually portioned pp, leave enough for everyone remaining to get an adequate portion first.
10. Please review posted menu for family style meals, animal/fish based products will be an ingredient in most of the dishes. Allergies and other food restrictions may be considered, but accommodation is not guaranteed and a full share of the meal expense is still expected.
11. The organizer's has discretion to move frequent and reliable members off of the waiting list prior to new members and those who chronically change RSVPs last minute (you know who you are).
12. The cameras eats first 😜.

- RW Lunch at HutongHutong, new york, NY
Born in Hong Kong fifteen years ago where it was the first Chinese restaurant to be awarded a Michelin star. The NYC outpost is decorated in elegant Art Deco style inspired by the glamour of 1920’s New York and Shanghai. Hutong brings award-winning occasionally fiery Northern Chinese cuisine to Midtown Manhattan. There are no roving carts loaded with bamboo steamer baskets at the new Chinese restaurant Hutong, no menu cards to be stamped each time you take a dish of har gow or turnip cake. In fact, dim sum is only a small portion of what the menu offers at Hutong.
This meal will be 2 course prix fixe,, drinks will be separate. Estimate $40 per person (tax & tip included).
