NYC MidSummer Night's Dinner Mini-Do Aug 25th
 

As I've been pretty much stuck at work the last month or so, I haven't really been able to be on FT much. Now that I've earned my "freedom" a bit, Iwant to get back into the swing of things.

Here in NYC, Restaurant Week has been extended till Labor Day Weekend and I think it's the perfect opportunity to go to one of the better restaurants in the City for $35 prix fixe. So in the spirit of the dog days of August (and Shakespear of course) , I present the MidSummer Night's Dinner Mini Do

August 25Th
Time: 7pm
Location:

Delmonico's
56 Beaver Street
New York, NY 10004
212-509-1144


In a city filled with great steakhouses, this is one of the better ones. Billed as one of the originators, Past meets the present as we take it over for a night of great food and our usual chatter of miles, points, etc.

Early Bar meet will be at 6pm at:

Ulysess Folk House
95 Pearl Street
212-482-0400

We will be meeting in the outside bar area on Stone Street.

Sounds good to me.

How about suggesting some restaurant options participating in the restaurant week dinner special?

I'll go ahead and write up a list...Should be up by tonight :D

Deleted!

And and the required reference to alcohol: Jameson...mmmmmmmm...Jameson...

Put me down as a probably! I am fine with wherever you choose, but I do prefer someplace that is on the quiet side so that I can hear the discussion!

El Chif,

Some of the places you put are not for dinner, just lunch, such as Blue Water Grill. Yummy food, but noisy inside.


How about starting with either specific resto, or a neighborhood. I would actually suggest the Meatpacking area or Union Square/ Flatiron region.

Any other suggestions???

The following are the ones I have narrowed it down to:

Delmonico's
North Square
Asia De Cuba
The Palm- Tribeca
Megu (Tribeca)

Let me know what you guys think.

I'd be interested in joining as well.

They all sound great to me! I am leaning towards the Steakhouses or Megu (although I don't understand the menu for North Square).

This sounds great. I'd like to join.

I'm thinking you should pick a place & update your first post. Just sayin...

Have a great time everyone! Sorry I can't be there.

Cheers.

North Square has been the site of 2 FT events this year. It truly is a great location and one I'm guessing will be used again quite soon. Update with the actual location to be performed soon.

just checked out the menus. They all sound fabulous, but having never been to delmonicos, would love that one!

Color me tentative. Gotta see if I'm out of town for work next week or not.

Not possible for me, sadly.

I probably won't be able to make dinner, but would love to meet up for drinks afterward.

Oooh! This sounds sooo tempting!:D Put me down as a 'maybe' & I will work on figuring out how to get my son to agree to taking care of himself for the night!;)

That seems to be your MO. :D

Put me down as a maybe as well as long as mnmag gets to come and teach me the PATH train:)

mini Do
 

I'm planning to join, as I am now located in NYC despite my handle.

Nice choice. I'm in. Thanks for setting this up.

If a 2x FT location, it must be good. However, I still do not understand the Restaurant Week menu list at North Square, do you? Does everyone get everything selected, or what?

Cool!^ Will deliver the 'goods'!;):D

And now I'm in the position to upgrade myself to confirmed. Looking forward to it!

cool!^

Not sure as we had a prix fixe outside of restaurant week.



Welcome aboard!

Just saw this.. I'm flying back into NYC on the 24th after 2 months in Europe, so it would be great to catch up! Count me in as confirmed! :D

It's always a pleasure to have you around. And I'm sure we'll keep the bars busy after dinner :D

Update: I have inquired about getting a private room for our party. Stay tuned. Apparently there is a party of 100 coming on Wednesday as well so that are trying to see if they can work something out.

Would love to join and meet everyone. However, dinner for me probably not a good idea since i am a Herbivores lol. But drinks would be definitely doable, if the place can be disclosed and does not require the use of ITA (ok that was a bit geeky)

I'll let them know.

I'll let them know.

I am a definate!

2 days till the red meat!

so any specifics on where the after dinner drinks place would be?

can i suggest Ulysses on Pearl St, or any other bar around stone st.

I love ulysses.

I'm in.

I'm guessing that we won't be able to get a private room since only ~12 people is usually not enough to warrant it...especially when most of us will probably cheap out and get the RW menu (I know I am :))! But I am looking forward to meeting a number of FTers I haven't met before.

Also, I have received word from Catman that he would like to join as well. I'm guessing he'll post in this thread sometime tomorrow to confirm.

I'm in. El_Chiflero, thanks for putting this together.
