Brooklyn Loft Bohemia
One wouldn’t imagine that four people living together in a big Brooklyn loft and hosting dinner parties for 25 guests would be a blueprint for roommate bliss, but it works for Mark, Danielle, Nick, and Nora (who prefer to remain slightly anonymous). Maybe that’s because they each have different specialties—from professional bartending to pastry-making and they all enjoy serving unusual ingredients, like bear and python. To these four, the concept of the underground supper club is itself a recipe for success. “It’s incredible, once you bring people together, how effortless it is to entertain them,” Mark says. “Social circles that would never normally meet cross each other here.”
Since the group started at their current location in 2006, an array of guests has enjoyed their adventurous five-course meals, including curious local chefs who want to see what these gifted amateurs are up to.
The Lowdown: Approx. $40–$50; twice monthly; pre-dinner cocktails; 3–4 courses with wine pairings; thewhiskandladle.com
