WHAT IS DINNER IN THE CITY? |
| A: |
Dinner In The City is the premier networking and Entertainment Company devoted to
providing its clients with alternative social networking and entertainment services.
Dinner In The City offers cultured individuals opportunities to meet, socialize and
network in the capital city's best restaurants and lounges.
We arrange social dinner parties of six to eight lively single people at upscale restaurants in the metropolitan Washington, DC. We can assure you: you'll be impressed at the quality and atmosphere of the restaurants we work with, and be more than satisfied by the delicious cuisine. But most importantly, you'll be both intrigued and entertained by your dinner companions. Relieved of the hassle of organizing such an event (as we do all the planning and booking for you), you are free to just show up, sit back and
enjoy yourself. Think of us as your personal social assistant.
DITC also invites couples to take advantage of our Casual Couple Dining Plan, specifically geared toward groups of three to four couples interested in broadening their social circles and meeting new people. |
