One of us Scouters is in New York this week, gathering up pointers for your next trip over (come on, it’s only two continents and a 14 hour flight away!). Are your feet itching yet?

Restaurants are so last week – supper clubs (defined as a dining experience that “most often involves a non-professional host who invites people to his or her home and cooks for them...seating is usually very limited, guests do not necessarily know each other, and generally leave a contribution for the experience”) are the new way to wine and dine.

We get the founders of the recently launched Eatizens.com – get your bpb invite here – to dish on their favourite supper clubs in NYC. Home delivery!

Gastronauts, Manhattan (also Los Angeles) - Specializing in the rare and the strange, this very popular supper club is guaranteed to surprise you!

Whisk & Ladle, Brooklyn - Set in a Williamsburg loft apartment, this is a rather large gathering with some of the best food and drinks around.

Forking Tasty, Brooklyn- Lots of fun food events, some based on other activities (dinner and a film screening for example).

i8, Manhattan - Jeff Chinman's events are delicious, thoughtful and intimate.

Brooklyn Fork & Spoon, Brooklyn - Three wonderful sweethearts make intimate vegetarian meals in Greenpoint.
