O/T: NYC Net54 Dinner Thread

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.
