Matt Levine Introduces #LESbeat Dinner Series

Fresh off opening Cocktail Bodega and organizing a Red Buill-sponsored Chinatown rave (Cam’ron and Riff Raff performed), we are told Matt Levine is continuing the co-branding relationship with an intimate weekly dinner series. The word is that #LESbeat is now a Monday night meal plan with local movers and shakers, hosted at a rotating roster of restaurants around the neighborhood. The two-month-long program started this week at Mission Chinese, with future venues to include Fat Radish, Barrio Chino, 169 Bar, Congee Village, Grey Lady, and Vanessa’s Dumplings.

After learning about the venture, we reached out to Levine and received the following comment:

The #LESbeat feedback and turnout was overwhelming, so myself, the Brandsway Creative and Redbull team decided to continue the concept on a smaller scale, 10-15 person dinners, bringing different creative types of neighborhood people together, throughout the Lower East Side every week for the next 2 months.

Nightlife networking with a small group of folks. Apparently this is a hot ticket and access is invite-only.
