Where: City Club Los Angeles (555 Flower Street, 51st Floor, Los Angeles)

When: June 26, 2026

Why Go: The premise is simple and the effect is surprisingly powerful. Guests are blindfolded for a three-course dinner, appetizer, main, and dessert, chosen in advance from meat, seafood, or vegan menus. Without sight, taste and smell take over completely, and familiar textures become harder to place than expected. It is the kind of experience that makes for good conversation long after the blindfolds come off.

Good to Know: Dietary preferences must be submitted via the post-booking questionnaire after purchase. Business casual dress code is enforced.

12. Spend the Afternoon at an Immersive Museum
