This group is looking to find great dining opportunities which are gourmet and affordable. Events will consist of prixe fixe menus, some with wine parings, and special theme nights at great restaurants. Meals will range in price from $25-$50 but promise to offer bang for your buck. The majority of the restaurants will be in SF but the entire Bay Area is the overall geographic base.

Do you want to try new restaurants? How about meeting nice people from your area? Are you open to many different kinds of cuisines and can picture yourself dining at holes in the wall as well as fine dining places? Let's go out there and see what the East Bay has to offer. Who knows which gems we will find? And to make it easier (and more interesting) for us, we chose the venues according to their names. First one will start with an A, next month we will visit a place starting with a B and so on …

Mission Brunchies is back!  Let's do brunch in one of the most diverse, interesting, and foodie-dense areas of the city.  From street food to fine dining, we'll do it all.

Hip Chicks in Midlife is a network of creative, intelligent, alternative, and spirited women in the midst of midlife with a common interest in conscious healthy living.   Like much in our lives, who we are, is hard to define.  We might be career women but we don't define ourselves that way...we might be moms but that's not all we are...we may be artists but there's more to us than that...we may be drawn to green living but that doesn't stop us from buying a great pair of boots.   Our common …

… If you're a medical profession, perhaps you can bring a stomach pump. FINE PRINT:  The total dinner tab + tip will be divided evenly among us.  Because Meetup charges $144 a year to post the "Bizarre Foods" Meetup, $1 per person will be collected.  (nice racket they have, eh?) Even better, if someone or their grandparent is a "bizarre food cook", we can have a potluck.  Your grandparents are welcome, too, of course! This is probably a good way to start, until we come up with other creative ideas …

Do you love cupcakes? They're small, bite-sized and utterly yummy! What's not to like, right? Over the past few years I've enjoyed the cupcake craze started by Sex and the City in New York and Los Angeles. I've visited the original Magnolia and Crumbs bakeries in those fine cities, now I want to explore cupcake yumminess in the Bay Area with other cupcake fans. Every month or so we'll visit a cupcake venue, compare flavors and textures, and share our opinions. I look forward to meeting you over …

… No-Shows - the ugly fine print. Inevitably things will come up, and you will have to miss an event you have RSVP'd to. If possible, please change your RSVP to "NO" if you can't attend, to give someone on the waiting list (if there is one) a change to come. Many of the events are smaller in nature, so no-shows can really impact the group. Barring extenuating circumstances, any member with more the three no-shows will be removed from the group.
