Two women laugh over dinner at a sunlit table, plates of vegetables between them and a phone face down.

Pinned to this table

Hana Ito has the left chair. Willa Grant has the right chair. Grace Adeyemi has the near plate. Your seat has the open glass.

Drag a name onto another chair, or use the left and right arrow keys. The photo is the only menu.

Hana Ito. She guides the table. She has lived in Cincinnati for eight years. At 7:10, after the water arrives, she asks the first question and then lets the table go.

Willa Grant. She moved from Tulsa in August and walks from an apartment two blocks north. She wants one person she can text on a Sunday.

Grace Adeyemi. She started at a lab by the river in September. She already said she will be late on 11/05. Her chair stays hers.

Your seat. You moved here this fall. The empty glass at the near edge of the photo is your side of the table. $40 comes off your card the morning of each Thursday. Say so by Sunday and that Thursday is not charged.

Six Thursdays at 7:00 PM: 10/29, 11/05, 11/12, 11/19, 12/03, and 12/10. Thanksgiving week is off. $40 a Thursday, $240 if you sit all six. Same four chairs, a back room in Cincinnati.
