I believe Buttermilk Channel in Brooklyn has free corkage on Tuesday with no bottle limit, plus there is a chance you run into Jay-Z and Beyonce who have been known to frequent the restaurant
I would join. Having just organized a slew of offlines in NYC (see the offline thread), some things to be aware of: certain restaurants are only 1 bottle per 2 people, etc. Don’t have time this second for restaurant suggestions, but I have been able to get 1 bottle/person at Batard just a few weeks ago, River Park (Tuesdays), unlimited (Little Frog, but food may be on same level as PDH… although a private room… we are checking it out tonight). Actually, just realized Bobby Vans is the place to do this. Thanks to intro from another WB member, and some events I have tossed there… I can get a table at Bobby Vans 54th with a flat table fee. I think Bobby Vans for the win, if red meat is a reasonable pairing.
I have a bottle of Cellar II Nacional we can have for dessert. It was a two bottle lot and I believe, after tasting it, that the first bottle was authentic. What kind of food do you like? PDH is ridiculous. We can do much better. Send me a PM with your preferred cuisine and I will give you some suggestions. I have eaten at most of the places mentioned above and the food is good but for a dinner like that, private rooms and peace and quite would be nice, but some of those places just won’t cut it.
