[Week 3] Newsletter

Hello foodies!

DineLA recap
Last week, we did not have a meeting. Instead, the club went out to La Vecchia Cucina, an Italian restaurant, for DineLA. Thanks to all the people that showed up. It was a great opportunity to explore and taste "higher" end food. Overall, the group had an average rating of about 7.0 out of 10. DineLA is still going on next week! If you missed out, it is still not too late to go.Here's their website: http://discoverlosangeles.com/restaurantweekv2/details.html?id=12071.
