O/T: NYC Net54 Dinner Thread

[calvindog]

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

Dan,

Yea.. in NY .. at a nice place...its about $100 per person for all the food and alcohol you take down...


every meal is one T206 Southern leaguer I could have had....

Early February works for me, and it would give us more time.

Dan- I'm a New Yorker but I'm with you. I'm not interested in a restaurant that charges $140 a head. Even Peter Luger's is cheaper than that. Jamie, where did you get that number from?

edited smart ass comment.

Jeff jokes.... but if there was no Staten Island - his pool of potential clients would be halved. I am going to buy him an "I Love Staten Island" T-shirt one day.


Staten Island can't touch Manhattan as far as restaurants go.

Even if it was magically convenient for everyone, the restaurants just can't compare.


Jeff mentioned Sparks. I've never been there - so I say that sounds like a good one. If not that place, I would vote for Ben Bensons (better than Peter Luger's in my opinion..... thats right - I said it Barry).

January 28, correct?

[barrysloate]

Sparks is where Paul Castellano was rubbed out...and you say Benson's is better than Luger's. Hmmmm- I've heard that one before.
