Edited to add: In the words of Emily Litella, "Nevermind." It seems that Brasserie 8 1/2 has transformed into Cucina 8 1/2, which specializes in "rustic Italian cuisine." No filet au poivre on the menu.
Christ Cella's! There is a blast from the past. I think that and Spark's were my two favorite NY steakhouses...even better than Peter Luger. I think Sparks is still around but moved.
