Locale is a pop-up dinner club for creatives and like-minded people in New York.
Hosted by @michael___carbone & @paolarodz.
Michael Carbone is a still-life photographer with a deep appreciation for food, especially the Italian dishes his mother and grandmothers cooked. Paola Rodriguez is an Art Director in the hospitality industry—she meticulously sets the table, designs the atmosphere, and often shakes up a round of cocktails (or two). Together, they love hosting and creating spaces that bring people closer. That’s how Locale came to life.
We host intimate dinners of 10–16 guests, carefully curating not just the food but also the guest list to spark meaningful connections. The only rule? Guests can’t already know each other (except the date they bring), opening space for new friendships, collaborations, and ideas.
You can find our guest sign-up questionnaire [here].
Feel free to [contact us] if you’re interested in collaborating, partnering, or being part of a future Locale dinner.
