Underground/Supper clubs in Manhattan

[John Ferris]

Hi all, I'm a Belfast (Ireland) based food journalist who'll be in New York between 5th - 10th April and I'd love to try out one of the underground/supper clubs (not sure of what they're called out there). Can anyone point me in the right direction online?

Also, any suggestions on where to have lunch/dinner considering it's in two weeks and so booking might be difficult? I tried booking Jean George's on Open Table but no availability, going to try calling tomorrow.

Saltshaker.net maintains a pretty exhaustive list. Some are just listed under "New York City" ... you might have to contact the individual supper clubs to find out exactly where. Edited March 22, 2010 by paulraphael (log)

Thanks Paul, much appreciated.

Is Bite Club dead?

It was one of the ones I'd found online before I posted on here but there didn't seem to be anything recent on the site Bobster.

I would not say that Bite Club is dead, I would say they are sleeping. I recently met them at a charity event. They were cooking some very amazing tasting goat. They recently purchased a place in Brooklyn and are in the process of building a kitchen. I believe they should be open by October so this will not fit into your criteria.

Bite Club will be open in Broolyn after the summer. I hope to work with them if they are reading this. They are very talented.
