Good Morning Raleigh!
We finally got some rainfall here in the triangle yesterday as Raleigh got a little over 1” yesterday afternoon into the evening. Let’s hope some of the events this week will have us out seeing more of it 🌧
Quick Announcement
We are looking to work with someone on local sales & partnerships between our newsletter and events — sound like you? Let us know!
July Dinner Club x Village District
That’s right folks!
We’re heading to the Village District this month with the Dinner Club series after taking a breather in June. Everything is walk-able and a great sit-down, with a ton of new spots on the list to check out.
How does it all work?
Snag your ticket on our website below (solo or as a plus one).
We match you with a small group for dinner and send you all of the details, you just show up at the right time and place!
After dinner, come to a relaxed after-party social, where all guests are welcome to mingle over some drinks nearby.
Tickets are going fast this time as we already have 40+ people signed up and we are still a few weeks out, so grab yours while you can!
See you at dinner!
