2012 NYC Dinner Thread

Michael -
I thought the Southern Hospitality food was 'okay' - and if I remember.... kind of noisy / loud?

[MVSNYC]

gotcha Joe, guess you're right. here i was thinking we'd be able to lock up the place just one post after we figured out the date...silly me! ...maybe by post 250, we'll have the place nailed down?

other suggestions (some of which we've been to before, but were good):

Morton's
Spark's
Old Homestead
Fresco by Scotto

I also like PJ Clarkes. if we can get a big table there, will be a fun place to have it, i think.

Sparks to me was the best food / value we had at one of the NY dinners.

I'm not in love with Mortons or Fresco by Scotto.

I haven't had the other two you have mentioned.


The 'okay' food part I mentioned really is not an issue though IMO -
But it would be good if the place chosen is not too noisy so we can have nice dinner conversation.


edit: PJ Clarkes sounds good to me - especially with your endorsement.

If its BBQ people want, then Hill Country will be perfect.

I missed the dinner at Sparks and as I recall everyone raved, so why don't we consider that? Michael, I nominate you to make the reservation if you don't mind...but of course we first need a head count.

So far it's Barry, Michael, Joe, and Josh. Who else would like to join us?

So I just saw that the time for this dinner is 6:30. I think that anything before 8 is unlikely for me given work. I'm happy to come by mid-dinner and have a cocktail with everyone though.

[barrysloate]

Josh- by all means, please come by later and say hello. As I said, no time works for everybody. We're just going to go with it.

This already slipped down to page 2, not a good sign for our NYC dinner. Anybody still interested in doing this, on the date I chose? Or should we start over?

I think you need to get Jim Crandall (hi Jim) involved on the decision. That should tighten it up a little bit. .....And maybe Peter Nash and all of his aliases can join ya'll, between his court losses?
