Meet the Friday Night Pilgrims

Over the weekend, the Daily News profiled the secret weekly supper club attended by such New York notables as judges Mike Pesce and Miriam Cyrulnik, Office of Emergency Management commissioner Joe Bruno and Assemblywoman Joan Millman, held every Friday night in Carroll Gardens.

“The chairs don’t all match and the silverware is all different, but everybody gets a seat,” Assemblywoman Millman told the Daily News of the supper club.
