The Thread for Very Hungry New Yorkers

[Archive]

Posted By: barrysloate

Okay- I've received emails from several people who would like to get a NYC dinner together and I feel the best way to do this is on a thread, because if we have to email each other it will get a little crazy. As wonderful a restaurant as Peter Luger's is- the best porterhouse in America and it has been at the same location since 1887 (thus the Old Judge and Allen & Ginter tie-in)- I agree that Manhattan may be an easier meeting place for most. A few people suggested Ben Benson's which I never heard of but I'm game if that's what the majority wants. Let me also mention that one of the long time Peter Luger waiters defected and opened his own steakhouse in lower Manhattan, and I've yet to try it so that could be in the mix. I'm open to anything from sushi to greek food to a good steak but the question is when and where, and how do we coordinate it? Is a weekend better than a weekday? Once we come to some kind of agreement I'd be happy to make the reservation. If people want to come from out of town perhaps we should give their schedules a little more weight. Anyway, please all post here and let's see what we can come up with. Barry
