O/T: NYC Net54 Dinner Thread

Blunder19 · #1 01-20-2010, 10:23 AM

Hey Everyone,

Just throwing this out there... My GF is the hostess at Rothmans steak house in Oysterbay Long Island...its a really upscale steak house... Im not sure if everyone would be up for going to the Island instead of the city....

But I can get 50% off the entire bill.. including alcohol!!!

chopping that bill in half is nice

Heres a link to the place..

Let me know... if Rothmans is not too far out of the way... I can make it.. along with my 50% discount for everyone.. on everything!

Jim is right. We will need a primary first. This could get cumbersome.

Jamie- thanks for the offer but you will have a very hard time getting this group out to Long Island. If I so much as suggest Brooklyn, most of them run the other way. It's a Manhattan crowd.

Barry,

I thought the ring of 50% discount might persuade a few NYC loyalists..

Theres nothing like seeing a $1,400 bill for 10 or so guys get chopped in half to $700...

well let me know where it will be ...even if not at rothmans ...and I will try to get there..

We could also try a long island dinner another night and get to rothmans that time.

I will be in Cuba from January 28 to February 5. If any Net54ers want to get together for dinner in Havana that week, please let me know

.

(Strangely enough, I think that might be easier to accomplish than arranging a date for a NYC dinner )

Long Island? We can't travel to Long Island. The first island we would have to go to would be Staten Island, I'm afraid, as Joe D is the Mayor there or something.

So is the 28th a possible date? We've got Bruce, Joe D, Barry and myself right now. Anyone else in? Should we see if we can lure Rob Lifson out of the house? We could leave a trail of Baltimore News Ruths leading from his house to Sparks -- that could work.

If you are serious about Staten Island (and I know you aren't) I could lend my expertise. I know for sure we have some great Italian restaurants as well as a great Spanish restaurant called Espana. I do believe we lack in quality steakhouses...

Ultimately whatever you guys choose to do I would like to see if I could be a part of it.

hi barry- rather then getting one phone call, i opted for internet access for one hour

i'm free most of next week. but i thought Joe D. couldn't do thursday?

my guess is that one week's notice is way too short for most people, and that we'll have to try to for early february

Barry- ya failed me...you're making me organize this thing from China?

oyster bay? i hate going below 40th street in manhattan...

just joshin' ya Jamie...thanks for the offer, but as Barry said, he can't even get us on the A train out to Brooklyn, let alone the LIRR.

what about next wed (1/27)?

how about Merchants (they are one of the only bars in the City where you can smoke Cigars).

i'm thinking, this time, we have cigars & cognac, and order some appetizers, rather then doing a big "sit-down" dinner.

we can do a drink at my new apartment (2 blocks away), either before or after Merchants...

Hi Michael- I didn't know you could get an internet connection in a Chinese prison. As I mentioned Wednesdays are bad for me. The closest any of us have come to a consensus is Thursday the 28th. Can you do that? And you should unquestionably be handling this.

Holy crap! You could feed 50 at a good steakhouse in Nebraska for $1400.

Yes, but the problem is you need to eat that steak in Nebraska.

barrysloate · #12 01-20-2010, 11:29 AM

Doesn't Nebraska have a lot of cows?

calvindog · #13 01-20-2010, 11:41 AM

Yes, exactly.

Yep....and we're buried under two feet of snow and at the moment teetering on disaster as the temperature is hovering at 33F and it's raining. One degree from total doom.

Seriously -- two feet of snow?
