LDC is a dining club for kids aged 4-12. Our goal is to expand kids palates beyond mac-n-cheese and chicken fingers. Each month we host a dining experience at a different restaurant. Kids sit at their own table, interact with the chef, taste different foods, learn how dishes are prepared, and where certain ingredients are sourced. After sampling their food kids are encouraged to rate each dish on their special LDC menu. At least one parent/adult is required to attend and they too enjoy the same or similar menu at a different table. During most events kids also get a chance to tour the kitchen to see where the magic happens. LDC focuses on selecting a diverse array of venues that will allow members to experience different cultural options each month. Thus far LDC has featured over 20 different restaurants and cuisine that includes, Chinese, Japanese, African, Jamaican, Greek, Italian, Cuban, Mexican, Mediterranean, Spanish, Indian, Southern, East Coast, West Coast, and New American.

LDC offers an annual and monthly memberships for kids. Kids do not need to be a member to attend a dining experience, but members receive a membership packet which includes a LDC passport and other LDC items. Members also receive a reduced registration fee for each event, FREE member appreciation events, and LDC membership perks. All monthly events and perks are posted on www.littledinerscrew.com. Also sign up for membership and our weekly Crew News newsletter at www.litttledinerscrew.com. Email us at [email protected] for questions.
