Williamsburg Supper Club I: The Dinner Bell
All over Brooklyn, foodies have founded underground supper clubs, holding quasi-secret dinners in private homes, out of view of the health department. Julia Ziegler-Haynes, an artist and former waitress at Marlow and Sons, holds court twice a month in her “lovely house in Williamsburg,” a recent attendee told us. “She is an amazing cook and knows how to gather the creative community to share a delicious meal in a comfy environment.” As Julia herself told Paper magazine last year, it’s all about the social experience. “I think it’s unfortunate the restaurant industry doesn’t nurture that more. Time is money, tables are money,” she said. “I like that people can come here knowing they have time reserved for them and only them.”
