1. Elite Event at Mable's Smokehouse
[Ack, I don't really have time to Yelp this but I consider these event recaps as a thank-you note of sorts. Tim Gunn says hosts should be acknowledged promptly--at the very least within 24 hours of the party. I wonder if I just copy and paste stuff…More »
2. Elite Event at Le Comptoir
Brooklyn, NY 11211
Category:
Local Flavor
Neighborhoods: Williamsburg - South Side, Williamsburg - North Side
My fave NYC Elite event.*
Why? So many reasons:
- Cute French bartenders pouring delicious drinks made with super healthy fair trade quinoa vodka distilled by blind vegan Peruvian monks in the Andes.
- Cute French chef turning out the best food I've…More »
3. Yelp Elite Go Mad For The Empire Room
New York, NY 10001
(212) 643-5400
Category:
Local Flavor
Neighborhoods: Midtown West, Koreatown, Midtown East
I love a themed party. Thanks, Yelp, for giving me a reason to break out my ole pillbox hat and heels, and transporting me to an era when people didn't dress like hobos.
The venue was fantastic. I had no idea there was such a lovely bar in the Empire…More »
4. The Yelp Snow Ball
I was among the Elites who arrived early so the wait for food was minimal. I got my fill of delicious shrimp roll from Luke's Lobster, pork taco on a freshly made tortilla, non-Ikea Swedish meatballs and other vendor samples--as much as my sausage…More »
5. Elite Event at Brooklyn Winery
All you can eat crostini and all you can drink wine in two hours? Even the Olive Garden doesn't have a deal this good.
You know what else this event had that the Olive Garden doesn't?
- Good Italian food
- Zit-free servers who know what they're doing
-…More »
6. Elite Event at Gordon Bennett
Brooklyn, NY 11211
Category:
Local Flavor
Neighborhoods: Williamsburg - South Side, South Williamsburg
I'd better write my review now before all that free-flowing Bulldog Gin obliterates my recollection of the night.
I had such an amazing time because:
- I love themed events and it was the rare occasion where my unwaxed upper lip actually came in handy
-…More »
7. Yelp Elite Event at Essex Street Market & Essex Restaurant
I love that Yelp can throw an event in a little ole food market and make it fun and fabulous.
The highlights:
-Peter D. and Leighann F.'s friendly faces at the door
-After-hours access to the market to make me feel so special and Elite
-Baby baguette…More »
8. Elite Event @ Franklin Park
Wow, my first Elite event after moving back to the States. It was awfully nice of Peter D. to gather a stellar bunch of NYC Elites to celebrate my triumphant return to Brooklyn with this fine affair. I was almost embarrassed by the buffet spread of…More »

Local Flavour
Neighborhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
So much gold! So much glitter! So much goodness packed into one Elite event!
The Amazing:
- Potent cocktails delivered quickly
- Food served hot and fresh (and enough of it circulating to prevent drunkification too early)
- Servers who were ever so easy…More »
10. Brewed Awakening Elite Event @ Lit Espresso Bar
Toronto, ON M6G 1C9
Canada
(416) 519-1884
Category:
Local Flavour
Neighborhoods: Little Italy, Bickford Park
Wow, this was the rare Elite event where I did not get drunk and make a total ass of myself. Instead I got wired on caffeine and sugary snacks (and made an ass of myself).
The cupping session was cool. So was the iced cortado and the Lit staff dressed…More »
11. Yelp Elite Event @ Local 4
Toronto, ON M4Y 1K2
Canada
Category:
Local Flavour
Neighborhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
I always know I had a great time the night before when I wake up in a sweat and it feels like a 700-lb gorilla is sitting on my brain.
Another excellent event marked by:
- A steady flow of hors d'oeuvres served scalding hot coming out of the kitchen; I…More »
12. Yelp Elite Event @ Negroni
Toronto, ON M6G 1A4
Canada
Category:
Local Flavour
Neighborhoods: Little Italy, Palmerston
This event was hotter than the bubbling provolone oozing out of Shari M's winning panini combo[1]! The food was super-duper gourmet, the booze was plentiful, and the service so seamless it was like a wine-fairy magically refilled my glass each time I…More »
13. Elite Event @ Lou Dawg's
The sheer size of the latest Elite event makes me feel like a mother seeing her baby get older; I'm proud to see Yelp a' growing so fast but I kind of long for the days of its infancy when Yelp Toronto was still small and cute.
Seriously, this was the…More »
14. Elite Event @ The Curzon
Toronto, ON M4M 1L4
Canada

Neighborhood: Leslieville
Bobbie Barrett: Give me the full Don Draper treatment. I wanted it and I got it and it was even better than they said.
That's how I feel about this Elite event.
What I loved about this event:
+ Dressing up and seeing others have fun with dressing up
+…More »
15. Elite Event At Chino Locos
Toronto, ON M4Y 2C5
Canada
Category:
Local Flavour
Neighborhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
Really? Am I gonna get FTR on this?
All righty, here goes:
How can you not like a burrito joint that has Dita von Teese 2.0 and a masked Burrito Gimp serving up chicken chow mein in whole wheat tortillas?
Great to meet some Yelpers I hadn't met before…More »
16. Elite Event at Harbord House
I believe that this Elite event was part of Kat F.'s evil plan to light a fire under the collective asses of all you* slacker Yelpers and get the word out...so that you** will start reviewing up a storm in Toronto in the hope that one day, you***…More »
17. Yelp Gets Laide @ Laide Lounge
Toronto, ON M5C 1K9
Canada
Category:
Local Flavour
Neighborhoods: Corktown, Downtown Core
+1 * for meeting Yelpers, old and new
+1 * for my free Elite T-shirt that could easily go for $35 plus tax in some hipster shop along Queen St. W.
+1 * for the free drinks
- 1 * for the flabby meatballs and questionable sausage (referring to the food,…More »
18. You Never Forget Your First Elite Event @ Salvador Darling

Category:
Local Flavour
Neighborhood: Parkdale
Loved it!
I got a hoot out of matching people's first name and last initial to the real live Yelper. I also met new folks I didn't know were on Yelp. (Where are your reviews? How do I add you as friends?)
I even found my match for my creepy artcard:…More »
