Description
Want to try out cuisine from around the globe while meeting new people? Join us for the launch of our new Global Cuisine Club. We're starting right at home with an American diner -- Mel's Drive-In! Yes, we'll have an icebreaker game to get conversations started so you can learn about your fellow diners over convivial conversation and traditional American cuisine (in honor of Independence Day) like meatloaf, turkey with stuffing, salads, and of course a burger, fries & milkshake! Vegetarian & gluten free options available.

Limited capacity. NEXT Village members receive priority for spots.

  • About Mel's Drive-In: In 1947, Mel Weiss opened the first drive-in restaurant in San Francisco, Mels drive-in. The original location was at 140 South Van Ness Ave. If you saw the 1973 film "American Graffiti" you may remember the neon sign at the gang's favorite hangout spot blazing "Mels drive-in." Mel’s is a family owned business that has had generations of customers come through its doors in the last 74 years.
