What would your fantasy dinner party look like? Roast chicken with Zadie Smith? Whisky sours with John Lennon? Peaches with… Peaches? Or perhaps you want to throw out the rule book, open your door and see who comes in? If that sounds like your thing, you’ll probably be into the Fomo Berlin Kiez Dinner, a decentralized mixer where you and a friend cook for four future friends in your own home. Organized by Fomo Berlin – a media company that has brought people together across more than 75 gatherings and grown into a 15K community of business owners, investors, tech operators and creatives seeking richer experiences, deeper connections, and the small magic of meeting the right people – the event is actually made up of dozens of individual dinner parties all across Mitte, Prenzlauer Berg, Friedrichshain, Kreuzberg, Neukölln, Moabit, Schöneberg and Charlottenburg. The fun part is that the organizers assign you to host only one of three courses: starter, main or dessert.
For the other courses you head out to another hosting team in your district where you can sit back and (with any luck) enjoy their culinary artistry. Each course will have a different lineup of guests, so you’ll get to meet 12 new people over the course of the evening. Afterwards, everyone heads to a single gathering where you can all drink to your kitchen triumphs. If you fancy meeting new people in your hood and are ready to embrace the convivial chaos of eating one dinner in three different places, sign up with a friend here and start ironing those napkins…
