How it works

Step into the concrete jungle for a culinary journey designed to unite your team over delicious food from some of Midtown Manhattan’s hidden gems. Led by our elite roster of hosts, including professional comedians, seasoned performers, and hospitality experts with years of first-hand experience in NYC's restaurants, your team will transcend the standard networking happy hour, bonding over a curated mix of global cuisines across three exclusive, seated restaurant stops and two iconic, fast-paced "drive-by" tasting gems. From the bustling energy of Koreatown to the shadow of the Empire State Building, our charismatic hosts weave masterclass-level stories about NYC’s culinary history and lead the group through team icebreakers, ensuring every guest feels engaged, included, and valued.

This is more than a food tour; it is a strategically engineered team-building experience that links cultural discovery directly to your workforce's collective success. By immersing your team in the diverse flavors and rich history of the city, we stimulate fresh perspectives and foster a shared sense of adventure that translates directly back to the boardroom. Our hosts excel at reading the room and facilitating organic connections, utilizing their unique performance backgrounds to spark psychological safety and genuine camaraderie among colleagues. Your team will leave Midtown not only full of world-class cuisine but equipped with strengthened trust, elevated morale, and a renewed collaborative spirit that will drive your business forward.

Examples of food your team may enjoy on the experience include:

  • An interactive dark chocolate fondue with strawberries, banana, marshmallows, rice crispy treats.
  • A blend of 5 Mediterranean staples ranging from green tahini, marinated Japanese eggplant & zchug to a labneh of marinated Israeli cucumbers, garlic, dill, zaatar & sumac.
  • The classic comfort of chicken and waffles remixed as a specialty gluten free masterpiece.
  • Bite-worthy dumplings that golden and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
