it's ok but you'd been able to get sichuan drypot for years prior in flushing, it's basically that but at 2x the price for the east village. i think there are more interesting places in the neighborhood (e.g. little tong noodle shop)

I go to the one in midtown for one of the lunch specials (usually the fish). Its a nice option to have, even though all the specials basically taste the same, so you have to space out visits.

Does anyone know anything about Chelsea Table and Stage? I had never heard of it before but may go see a show there. I'm guessing it's extremely new because I can't find any reviews of it, which is p much unheard of for NYC. Food menu looks kind of blah but the price iss pretty reasonable for a table right by the stage so I'll eat my boring $27 salmon and enjoy the show I guess. Just curious what the deal is with this place. Looks kind of like a jazz club vibe but not exclusive to jazz.

they look like they need some help with booking but glad to see any new club open!

xp, yeah I mean the guy I'm going to see is awesome but I only randomly know who he is through instagram and he does not seem to be much of a name yet. Don't recognize many other names, but I'm sure "Funk Shui" is top notch

My soon to be 11yo has always deeply loved beef and steak. I want to take her for a good steak for her bday. What's a good place that wouldn't feel too stuffy for an 11yo girl with her dad? I thought about Luger but it would be a long ride from us coming from north of the city - something in Manhattan/Bronx/Queens is probably easier to get to.

Why not take her to an Argentinian place. Buenos Aires on E. 6th St. has a good selection of beef and a cheerful, casual vibe.

I mean luger’s isnt stuffy

Right, it's not, it's just further from us. But I think she might get a kick out of it.

That Argentinian place looks good too, good idea

Keens is so fun and so great.

peter luger's is kinda a memory more than a meal, maybe worth it

Keens is normally my go to - definitely better vibes than Luger. And the mutton! (I might still prefer the basic Luger steak though). Old Homestead is also excellent with a similar level of fanciness as Keens. It all depends on one's tolerance for that clubby kind of atmosphere. But I've seen young people at all these places.
― Josefa, Tuesday, 7 February 2023 14:09 (one year ago) link
Yeah, Keens is old-school and fancy feeling without feeling stuffy. It was fun and friendly when I went.
