This website is beautifully designed and very readable. Good to see there are still websites that care about the users experience.

The design is impeccable and it's pleasurable to read; a rare combination.

I found the font strange, and a bit narrow.

Looks like it's called "begum" https://www.typewolf.com/site-of-the-day/fonts/begum

I like it too - and I assume the name is a reference to the restaurant in American Psycho that Pat Bateman can never get a reservation at!

I went to one of these about 9 years ago, and to be honest I had no idea they were still a thing. They were very talked about back then but I hadn't really heard of them again until now.

It was an enjoyable experience, and it was when I first moved to London for my first job so it felt very trendy and cosmopolitan and grown-up to me. Maybe I should look into it again...

I have enjoyed the supper-clubs of Buenos Aires in the past, partly because it was much cheaper and better food that the restaurants (from what I understood, it was very difficult to get a kitchen and/or liquor license) and partly because it was an interesting way to meet people. I think this is an international space that AirBnB is successfully filling with their experiences?

We do a private version of this with friends a few times a year, each household takes turns hosting a full dinner party, sometimes with a theme and sometimes not.

It's a good way to exercise one's hosting skills, keep in practice in the kitchen, and socialize.

Is there a website that anyone uses that focuses on the United States?

have you already tried EatWith ?
