This group was created for the 20s-30s Northern Va woman who is new in town(or has been here for awhile) and wants to make new friends. While there are some great groups out there, I've noticed that they either grew quite large and the meetups filled up quickly or some of the meetups were occurring less and less. This group enjoys happy hours, brunches, dinners, movies, outdoor activities, trips, etc. We have a calendar full of upcoming events, so find one that interests you and join in :) Thank …

This meetup is geared toward local women (sorry guys, this one's not for you!) looking to find friends and enjoy good times together.  Hopefully people will attend events. I know we all get busy but we all join these meetups to make friends so we have to do more than say we want to meet people and we have to actually get out there and do it!! Some of the past meetups we've done are brunch, dinner, coffee/drinks, movies, plays, tarot card readings :), Top Golf... our upcoming meetups have somethi …

Introduction: Our founder decided to start this group because she enjoyed wine and want to get to know other people in their 20s & 30s that like wine too.  It worked!  Since getting started in April 2010, we have attended 250 tastings, wineries, dinners, festivals, happy hours, parties, and almost any other idea, as long as it somehow involves wine, with many more planned! We look for a great mix of men and women in their 20s & 30s - single, married, couples, just friends, it doesn't matter - th …

We love good food and drink. We also love to try new restaurants in and around our Nation's capital and experience different cuisine.

Hello...My name is Angela....and I want to make a difference...do you? I grew up with my well being sometimes quite dependant on the kindness and generosity of complete strangers...with my five siblings there were times that we'd sit up to the dinner table to say grace but it wasn't always to say prayers over our food it was at times to say a prayer for our food...I tell you that not to garner your sympathy (as I would not change my life as it has shaped who I am and made me tenderhearted)..I d …

Instead of England's early Sunday dinner, a postchurch ordeal of heavy meats and savory pies, why not a new meal, served around noon, that starts with tea or coffee, marmalade and other breakfast fixtures before moving along to the heavier fare? By eliminating the need to get up early on Sunday, brunch would make life brighter for Saturday-night carousers. It would promote human happiness in other ways as well. Brunch is cheerful, sociable and inciting. It is talk-compelling. It puts you in a go …

We initially started this group to spread the tradition of fermented foods, but we are broadening our scope to include a variety of fun, healthful kitchen adventures.  We will get our hands into all kinds of recipes, from kombucha to kale and from soup to pickles.

It's easy to halve the potato where there's love. The whole idea behind my supper club was to have “family style” dinners which means that each participant is treated as family. I want to create an atmosphere where people feel comfortable, enjoy dinner conversation and a good meal. In today’s fast-paced world, it’s hard for people to slow down, sit down and enjoy dinner. This is my attempt to bring this tradition back – at least in my home. I miss having people to eat with, I believe strongly t …

This is a group for anyone who wants to explore the restaurants that Alexandria has to offer. I started this group to meet new people and socialize while enjoying good food and wine.

Also, meetups that are posted more than 2 weeks out will be waiting list only. I'll manually o …
