“With Eat With, Side Tour, VoulezVousDiner and Feastly, a new food trend that is sweeping cities allows diners to enjoy fine meals inside someone else’s home. Think of it as Airbnb for hungry people. It’s easy to think these sites are all about the food, but they’re not. The food is often just an excuse for what can essentially be a really great party with a bunch of people you’ve never met. Recently I went to a ‘taco party’ I found through the Eat With website. I paid $40 to go to the home of two fun-loving Latinas. They have a great apartment, filled with art, just across from the Brooklyn Museum. As soon as their guests arrived, they made it a point to shove rum drinks into our hands.”
