We all knew that kids growing up in the West Village have certain advantages, but even many adults would be envious of the perks involved with being a member of Foodies at 41. Members get to hang out in the kitchen at Per Se with Thomas Keller, make ice cream at Grom Gelato, toss thin crust pizzas at Keste Pizza & Vino, and take cheese education courses at Murray’s Cheese. All for $15 - $20 per event. There’s only requirement – you have to be enrolled in elementary school at P.S. 41 to join.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the club was founded my Marc Spero after his daughters, Sophia and Hudson, who were both adventurous eaters that toured the West Village dining scene with their parents since they were babies. Mr. Spero sought the participation of local restaurants who were more than happy to oblige. Today the club has 20-30 student members and they meet bi-monthly with parent chaperones who we are sure are willing recruits.
