The Phoenix Club is a group of women with substantial life experience who meet monthly to find ways to use our time and skills to build new friendships and enrich the lives of those around us. We explore topics of cultural and practical interest, using our collective knowledge and experiences as well as the expertise of invited speakers. As New Yorkers, much of our social life takes place in cafes, coffee shops, and restaurants. With this in mind, our May theme is “Be Your Own Restaurant Critic.” What are your favorite choices for get-togethers, special occasion celebrations, or budget-friendly meet-ups? What are the qualities that bring you back time and again to your favorite places? Bring your ideas and experiences to share!
