You DO. Since Dinner Club is a completely free event focused on building community, it's important that you're a neighbor. That means you have to live in Downtown LA to attend. We consider Downtown to be the area bounded by the freeways as well as Chinatown. We do also make acceptions for people who contribute to helping make our neighborhood awesome (for example if you work at the Downtown Women's Center). In general though, WORKING in Downtown LA does not count as LIVING in Downtown LA. If you have questions about whether or not you qualify please email Josh at [email protected]. For those of you who don't live in DTLA, we do have at least a few events a year that are open to all. Usually at larger venues that can accommodate more guests.
