We closed out August at the table. 🍽️
Yesterday, Etiquette Speaks hosted our Adult Dining & Social Etiquette experience Fandi Mata in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
These sessions are about much more than knowing which fork to use.
We talked about arriving prepared, reading the room, engaging in conversation, cell phone etiquette, navigating the table, using utensils with confidence, and the small habits that help us move through dining and social settings with greater ease.
One of the things I love most about teaching etiquette in an actual restaurant is that we don’t just talk about the skills. We practice them in real time, as the experience unfolds around the table and Fandi Mata gave us such a vibrant setting for this one.
August has been a full month for Etiquette Speaks — College Edition, Family Edition, and now our Adult experience. Each table created for a different audience, but always with the same goal:
Confidence. Awareness. Courtesy. Presence.
Thank you to everyone who chose to take a seat at the table with us this month.
More tables ahead. Good manners. Lasting impressions.

📍A NEW LOCATION📍 The same intimate Etiquette Speaks experience. 🍽️
Our Adult Dining & Social Etiquette session is happening tomorrow, Sunday, August 30, and we’ll now be gathering at Fandi Mata in Brooklyn.
Fandi Mata gives a warm, visually distinctive setting in Williamsburg with Mediterranean-inspired cuisine and globally influenced hospitality. It's a fitting backdrop for an intimate evening focused on dining, conversation, and social confidence.
Our interactive dining experience is for adults who want to feel more confident navigating the table, conversation, and the social moments that come with dinners, celebrations, professional events, networking, and simply meeting new people.
Around the table, we’ll talk about how to:
• Arrive and engage with confidence
• Navigate place settings
• Dine with greater ease
• Hold meaningful, appropriate conversation
• Feel more comfortable in social settings without feeling stiff or overly rehearsed
And because I believe etiquette is best learned by actually practicing it, we’ll do it over a three-course meal in a real dining environment.

Today’s classroom looked a little different.
I had the pleasure of creating a private Social & Dining Etiquette experience for members of the cast of Bunch of Friends, the YouTube sitcom with an audience approaching one million subscribers.
I can’t share what brought them to Etiquette Speaks, LLC just yet (you’ll have to wait for the episode airing for that) but I can say that we spent our time talking about how we show up: social confidence, professional presence, conversation, first impressions, dining etiquette and knowing how to read the room.
And because I wanted the experience to feel like theirs, I brought a little Bunch of Friends into the room too.
Thank you to the team for trusting Etiquette Speaks, LLC with this experience. I’m looking forward to seeing it all come together on screen.
Say It Well.

College Edition is officially at the table. 🎓🍽️
This week, Etiquette Speaks hosted our Dining + Social Etiquette: College Edition Patrick Steakhouse in Brooklyn. It was an experience created specifically for undergraduate students preparing for the moments that happen beyond the classroom.
One of the things I especially appreciated about this College Edition was the range of perspective around the table. We had a student preparing to begin her first year of college and another entering her senior year. Two very different points in the college journey, yet both with opportunities ahead that call for confidence, social awareness and knowing how to navigate the room.
There are internship dinners. Networking events. Meetings with professors and professionals. Social occasions. Business meals. And sometimes, the expectations in those rooms are never actually explained.
So we talked about them. Around the table, we explored dining etiquette, social conversation, cell phone etiquette, table presence, and the small details that help us move through different environments with greater confidence and awareness.
And we did it the way I believe etiquette is best learned: in a real setting, around a real table, with an opportunity to practice in the moment.
The goal is not perfection. It is knowing enough that you can stop worrying about what you're supposed to do and begin focusing on the people, the conversation, and the opportunity in front of you.
Thank you to Patrick Steakhouse for once again providing a wonderful setting for Etiquette Speaks.
Our August experiences continue with the Back 2 School Family Edition and Adult Dining & Social Etiquette.

As college students prepare for another academic year, some of the most important lessons they will use professionally will happen outside of the classroom.
A business dinner. A networking reception. An internship event. A conversation with a professor, executive or future employer.
Our Dining + Social Etiquette: College Edition gives currently enrolled undergraduate students an opportunity to practice those skills in a real dining environment.
Through an interactive three-course meal, students will strengthen their understanding of table etiquette, social conversation and the confidence needed to navigate campus and professional events with greater ease.

A thank you note is a small act with a lasting effect.
This message came from Keilly, a student in the Wall Street Summer Program at The Glenfarne Group, LLC, following our Professional Presence and Dining Etiquette Workshop. She did not simply say thank you in the moment. She took the time to write it down.
That distinction matters. A thoughtful note tells the person you were paying attention, you valued the time they gave you, and you understand that real impact shows up in what you do after the moment ends, not only in what happened during it.
This is the heart of what we teach at Etiquette Speaks. Presence is not only how you carry yourself at the table. It is what you carry forward once you leave it.
To Keilly, thank you for reminding us why this work matters.
