THE CLUB FOR
ADVENTUROUS
EATERS


Come explore all there is to eat in New York.

THE GASTRONAUTS

Welcome to the Gastronauts. Get ready to eat!

Come with us and explore the food NYC has to offer. Together, we venture deep into Queens, the Bronx, Brooklyn, and even Staten Island in search of the best food the city has to offer, and unusual and delicious dishes from around the world.

Once a month, always on a Tuesday, we invite our members to great restaurant where we have together a one-of-a-kind menu built around adventurous eating. Tripe, sea squirts, bat snails, insects, and plenty more. It's always interesting; it's always delicious. The point isn’t to eat something weird just to say we did: It has to be delicious.

The Gastronauts have been doing this for 20 years and along the way we’ve been featured in The New York Times and lots of other publications. We were even guest judges on Top Chef Duels.

Join our mailing list and we’ll let you know about the next dinner.

See you Tuesday!
