Keens finally got back to me and they have NOTHING until very late and all my other favorite places are not playing ball. I am still working on it. If anyone has a nomination for a steakhouse that does not think that the improvement in the economy means they do not have to maintain their relationships with people who gave them money during the bad times, let me know. I am working on it.Somebody out there wants my money, I just have to find them.
I got two recommendations on Prime and Beyond on 10th Street. That’s looking good despite the worst web site in history. Josh is contacting them to make a deal.
Btw, for those that haven’t been, they do all their own dry aging in house and I often let them pick (or at least recommend) the steaks we should order and share based on what they think is showing the best. And, the dry aged lamb chops are fantastic, highly recommend we have them serve one per person as part of an earlier course.
normal corkage policy is $35 per bottle with a 2 bottle per party max.
Was a bit tough to hear in the car but I think he said flat fee of $200 (I told him 10 bottles or so for a party of 10) but don’t shoot me if he said $300.
