$$$$ Events Are Typical.
For example, a Play or Music event would typically also include a "fine dining" meal (before or after performance). Therefore, the Meetup would be - the show AND dinner.
Some of the "fine dining" venues are very pricey.
Who Should Join this Meetup?
Mature, fun-loving professional Black women aged 40+ who truly enjoy "foodie" fine dining experiences at upscale venues AND can ATTEND events on weekends (or Friday evening).
