The next week they chose the next one. And so on. Over the next few months their friends would occasionally join in, and then their friends. And come rain or shine, at least a few people would be there.
So we figured, why not expand our epicurean horizons and visit new restaurants with a group of our friends? No reason not to, and so our Diners' Club was born.
Occasionally I will ask for restaurant suggestions. You'll notice that we aren't going through the phone book alphabetically - I guess we are trying to make sure we get a tasty, fun dinner and not trust to luck.
Most of the dinners are on the weekends, because the group is mostly composed of students from MIT, Harvard, Tufts, and BU as well as some who are now in the "Real World" (but obviously still in the area).
