OK, everyone, I’ve spoken with PDH Midtown today, and I put in an RSVP for 45 people on Saturday, November 7th at 7pm. It was tough finding a spot that could accomodate us on a Saturday night in Fall as this is the peak season for most places. Bringing in a large group of folks who BYO isn’t exactly everyone’s idea of a money-making proposition.
But, PDH has said they’d be cool with us in their back room, so we’d be FOUR tables, two of 12, two of 10, and we can sneak in another person if everyone sucks in their gut(s). So we’re maxing out at 45.
Now, as to menu, with this many people, and considering the main room is taken by a large group, I asked them to give us a prix-fixe menu so all we need to do is sit-down, eat, drink, and pay. No one will need to choose anything from any menu, they’ll just start serving when we give them the go-ahead.
This is what we agreed on:
-5 appetizer mixed plate
-4 ducks/table (making sure they leave the carcasses!)
-4 mains afterwards
Cost will be $65 ALL INCLUSIVE (that means tax, tip and cockage)
