Eat money.

Alright, a few things to clarify right off the bat:

1) No, this isn't Gen-Z's latest slang insult.
2) And no, I'm not suggesting you start shoving wads of dollar bills into your mouth.

Well, I actually sort of am. But more precisely, I'm inviting you aboard the novelty train. Toot toot! 🚂

I've heard from organizers over and over again that they're sick of doing the same ol' dull dinners and cheesy team building games. And you know what? We're sick of it too! It's 2024, people! We have robots cleaning our homes and AI writing our emails (but not this email). We can do better than boring team building, right?

I think so, which is why we built the Interactive Meal. It's a multi-course dining experience, with a trio of foodie activities layered throughout, like making your own cocktails (or mocktails), flavor tripping (it's as cool as it sounds), and yes, eating money. It's new, it's different, and it's a whole lot of fun!

Oh, and we've also made the pricing super duper simple, unlike the complicated web that is most private dining rooms (minimum spends, admin fees, gratuity, oh my!)

So if you're feeling bored with the same old, same old or frustrated by complicated pricing, hop on board to experience something awesome. Because you deserve awesome.

Check out the link in our bio to come and eat money with us! 🤑

We're hiring! Join our team as a Culinary Guide in NYC.

Here's what Avital Guides have to say about the job:

“I love the moment when a guest’s eyes light up with delight! It is such a good feeling to introduce people to a new flavor or experience.”

“By setting aside a few hours to share a meal with other people, there is a unique opportunity for deeper connection. As a culinary guide, I get to tell the stories of neighborhoods and their unforgettable restaurants. But maybe the greater privilege I have is challenging guests to share their own stories.”

“As an Avital guide, I get to listen and create intentional space for people to feel seen and heard and valued for a few hours in a day. That’s why I love being a guide. Because it’s an active opportunity to love and serve people. And we get to eat tons of yummy food along the way!”

“I love the flexibility this job gives me. I can do my regular full time job and have this as a fun side gig!”

Tyler MacNiven and August Schuchman are the notorious duo behind West of Pecos. Two Californian natives, each with a personal connection to the Southwest that they’ve brought together to create a hearty Tex-Mex dining experience right in the heart of San Francisco.

But what does it mean, “West of Pecos”? Well, the Pecos is a river in Texas. The majority of Texas is east of the Pecos, and in the 1800s it was believed that anyone who ventured west of the river was surely a dead man. Past that far bank was the truly wild wild west - a place fit only for rattlesnakes and outlaws.

You’ll find edgy, stylish, yet comforting Tex-Mex cuisine at West of Pecos on one of our Mission District Experiences (where you’ll be safe from those rattlesnakes and outlaws too)!

Experience gifts are becoming more and more popular for any gift giving occasion. Whether it’s for your loved one, colleague, a couple you want to treat to a romantic time, or even yourself, experience gifts offer an actual experience, rather than an object in a box. And in the great city of New York, there are so many experiences to be had! 🗽 https://avitaltours.com/nyc-food-tours/unique-nyc-experience-gifts

Obicà is the brainchild of Silvio Ursini, a Neapolitan by birth, who dreamed up the idea more than 20 years ago. His inspiration came partly from his local salumeria in Naples, where lines formed for fresh, hand-pinched, creamy mozzarella balls served on plastic plates, and partly from a trip to Japan, where he became enamored with the care and art with which sushi was presented. He imagined a locale that combined the best of both culinary worlds, and thus, Obicà Mozzarella Bar was born. You may just find yourself tasting this famous mozzarella on one of our NYC Flatiron experiences 🗽 https://avitaltours.com/nyc-food-tours/
