Meet people looking for interesting and diverse experiences while seeking out fascinating food -- over dinner, at lunch, even on walks through New York neighborhoods. Everyone with interest and enthusiasm is welcome: Our members come from a wide variety of backgrounds, and good conversation is as enjoyable a part of our get-togethers as good food. We've explored diverse cuisines including Malaysian, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Indonesian, Burmese, Nepali, Afghan, Haitian, Jamaican, Mexican, French, Romanian, Czechoslovakian, Uzbek, Georgian, and Azerbaijani, and we're hungry for more -- there's so much to choose from in New York!

Beginning in 2025, we will have limited tolerance for NO-SHOWs. If you aren't coming, please update your RSVP. If you are delayed, put a note on the Meetup event or contact the host. If you are a NO-SHOW (you RSVP'd but don't show up), you will not be allowed to RSVP to future events.

Beginning in Summer 2026, you MUST post a picture with just your face to be a member of the World Food Lover's Dining Out group. It's a matter of trust. Posting a picture of a butterfly, a puppy, a tree, etc. gives people a sense that you are trying to hide something. Also, full-body pictures are not easily visible on Meetup. It's also more convenient if people, including me as the host, can connect your face with your name.

I will delete members who don't have a clear face picture on 9/1/26 and will not accept new members without clear face pictures,
