We enjoy ourselves with incredible food & wine and great conversation. I also get specialized menus made specifically for our group from time to time that is healthy but still tastes great. We then meet to do f …

This group is for young women with one thing in common: a significant other. While there are some great groups on Meetup for single women, what about the attached ones? Doesn't mean we're boring or want to talk about our partners all the time, but our partners are a significant part of our lives, and we need some woman-to-woman time to talk about whatever we want and get away for a little bit. (With women who understand where you're coming from in terms of relationships) What do we do? Really an …

There are lots of dining groups on Meetup; I belong to some. And they're great. But I don't see anything devoted to the goofy, offbeat restaurants and snack shops and events that can make eating a purposefully amusing experience. Tabletops before tablecloths, go cups before goblets, fun before fancy, cute before culinary. I don't want to be a decadent foodie all the time! This isn't intended to be devoted to bargain, cheap-eats places, though most of the things I'm interested in for this group …

Are you tired of trying to find the right place to meet mature (48-65 ish), eligible single folks?  I am.  Bars send the wrong message; singles events are mainly about dancing and loud music with no opportunity to actually get to know folks; dating websites are expensive or just not very helpful and some other meetup groups seem to more like a singles "meat market", only for young folks, or they are non-singles events. I have started this group because I love going out to dinner and socializing …

Ahlan wa sahlan habibis!  Welcome to the San Francisco Lebanese Culture and Social Club.  The idea to start this group came to me over time.  I am a Recruiter and one day I was given an assignment to find an Arabic-speaking software engineer so, I started calling everyone who had "Arabic" on their resume. 20 minutes later :), I ran out of resumes. Then, onto Facebook. In retrospect, it wasn't the best recruiting strategy, I admit, but wow, it was fun! I ended up connecting with some Lebanese fol …
