In the News


My favorite restaurant that I’ve never been to and can’t seem to get into tequila article) re-opened after they were shut down for operating their basement speak-easy without a permit.


The Frying Pan, the sunken ship resurfaced, cleaned of barnacles and host to my favorite parties, the Turntables on the Hudson parties, has signed a 5-year lease at pier 66 (between 26th and 27th) and will re-open in May 2008. Until then you can check out the Turntables on the Hudson Guys Fridays at the Spiegelworld tent down at South Street Seaport

Peter Luger’s ‘oft referred to as the best steak in NYC receives its first review in 5 years, and Frank Bruni finds it very inconsistent though he claims "No other steakhouse serves a porterhouse so breathtaking". In the end, he downgrades the legendary steakhouse to 2 stars from 3. Gothamist's pre-game analysis is very interesting with a great excerpt from the last review. My favorite is still Spark's, though I have yet to try some of the Luger's offshoots and other steak newcomers.
