Will be checking into the Manhattan Club Friday

I am surprised that the Stage Deli is on their list. We ate there based on what we had read and found out that it definitely didn't live up to the hype. It certainly wasn't even close to The Carnegie Deli. I talked about it with our concierge at the Michelangelo Hotel ( 51st and 7th Ave. ). He said they have gone down hill a lot and are living off their past reputation.

Years ago when I worked in the garment center, I would eat there. That was a very long time ago, tho, and I haven't been there in years. I think Carnegie & Katz are the way to go. I have eaten recently at Sarge's, since I had a job in that area, and the food was actually very good.

Frank and Thirsty and Lawren, if she can be persuaded to go to Brooklyn? Frank is talking about some restaurant in Brooklyn? Off the BQE? Oh...is he talking about going to Forcella?

Frank, it looks like a nice place and it should be easy to get to for us. I assume we will take the subway.

Angela, Nice link...that gives us a lot of places to choose from.

Oh, yeah, Frank was suggesting Forcella. Great place!

If you get a chance, I strongly recommend Uncle Jack's Steakhouse on 56th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues. Their bone-in Filet Mignon is fabulous and the bone-in Rib Eye is also great.

Isn't that where Manhattan Club is?

it is very close to there. In fact speaking of Uncle Jack's we are going to the one in Baysaide next week. I have to pick up a bet loss from the Ranger's/Devils. I love there aged Kobe beef steak but I will not be getting it next week.

Yes and I know there is a stop on Metro and Union which is only a 2 to 3 block walk from there.

I've been so busy I've only just seen this. I can't manage next week but I wish I could! Have a great time, I know you will.

If for some reason that doesn't work, here's a 20% off coupon for Circle Line Cruises...

BTW, if you were buying The NYC Pass, I think the Circle Line Cruise is now included.

Come by me and I will drive, The place I am referring to is off Metropolitan Ave on Lorimer st and Grand st and right off the BQE 2-3 short blocks from the Metropolitan exit and there is plenty of free or metered parking and is easy to get to by train so it should work for a lot of people.

It's a deal Frank. I need to drop something off at my sister's too. Just need to be back up here by 4 at the latest.

Agreed. Truly excellent steaks.

I made sure Jim got to Katz's last time he was in. I worked downtown for most of my career and am a big fan. Turns out he likes Carnegie pastrami better because it's fattier. Me I'd kill for a Katz Rueben. It's all a matter of taste.
