Joe- it will take another hundred posts to pick a restaurant.

Anyone want to meet in downtown Brooklyn (that should go over well)?

Sparks is an overpriced touristy place. Michael, you can find a better place for us to eat.

barry- i'm easygoing, if jeff & joe wanna goto Sparks, then i'm game, i've actually never been there. and besides, it is no more expensive then our usual meals (lugers, brazilian, morton's, etc)...same price point. and since we only have about 2 of these dinners a year these days, i don't mind the price tag.

Sparks 7 pm Thursday night.

Right now the reservation is for three. Barry, sell some of those big pennies and get your ass into Manhattan!

Barry - you will be missed.

I do agree with Michael though..... its really no more expensive than our past spots - - Lugers or that Brazilian place. In the same ball-park price-wise.

Let me think about it. There are so many great restaurants in the city and we are not picking one of the better ones. Judy and I ate at the Palm last month (she got a gift certificate) and it was super expensive and very mediocre. Sparks will likely be the same.

Barry, don't let the secret out: all the so-called great restaurants in NYC really suck. Paris too.

Barry... I agree about the Palm - and have eaten there many times.... and it is not spectacular.

since you said 'likely be the same' for Sparks....
sounds like this would be the first time going to that restaurant for you.

lets give it a shot!

Well Jeff's reservation is for three anyway, so why don't I take a pass this time. It's no big deal. I do appreciate the invite.

I cannot make this unfortunately but Sparks is without a doubt the best steakhouse I have been to and I have been to a lot of them around the country. I have never made it to Peter Luger's (altho' I must confess I prefer a personal NY strip to porterhouse for 2, 3 or more) which I know is considered the paradigm but my vote goes to Sparks. I've eaten there well over a dozen times and it's consistently great. Not cheap but value for money.

I've eaten at two on Long Island (Teller's and Blackstone) in the past year and they were way overpriced and frankly not all that good. There are plenty of mediocre steakhouses in NYC but Sparks is not one of them.

What a great steak - and a great night with friends.

Can't beat those get togethers. Just awesome.

Mike and Joe D say the steak was surprisingly non-mediocre!

I would like to congratulate you all for making this happen in less than half the number of posts of the previous NYC dinner. Wish I could have joined you.

Hi Guys,
A few questions.....

1. Did Jay wear a Hawaiian shirt?
2. Did Sarno eat my Steak?
3. Did Joe and Sarno drink my share of Beer?
4. Did Barry go to sleep at the table???
5. Did Lichtman finally pick up the tab....

I'm glad you guys had fun... I told Levy I'm going to make a NY Dinner this year somehow....

Be well Brian

PS It's snowing like crazy here... and we are expecting 8-12 inches....
