@i8NYC presents: EUPHORIA is our newest dining group where we meticulously curate harder to book reservations with no more than 8 members per dinner, plus Exclusive Perks and Discounts, VIP Events for Loyal Members! Some places do not allow for larger groups so these dinners will be smaller in scale which means your attendance counts that much more! Warning: OUR DINNERS FILL UP FAST!!! If you like explore new cuisines together with like minded food enthusiasts in a smaller group, look no further! We also rebirthed @i8NYC presents: FOODGASM where we used to go out EVERY NIGHT. You will come to find out that we are the most active group with the BEST places. We also started a new chapter with @i8NYC presents: AGAPE where if you love to serve others, you're in the right place! Heck, join all 3!
