FAO Schwartz is open, I was there just last summer.P
Pete Lugers was on my bucket list for years, but now that FAO Schwartz is gone, and The Fantasticks has taken its final bow, the only other reason I'd want to go to NY is to see the 9/11 Memorial. Considering the expense of staying in Manhattan, it's probably not worth it.NY is AWESOME!~ it's not for the crotchety & anti-social, though.I dunno about that...when talking about New York Restaurants in Manhattan.... some of the finest eating in the World!!! Imo! I was fortunate enough to eat out when there for Market, and to this day my mouth still waters for their 3-4 inch thick at minimum, Veal Chop and various delicious pasta dishes as sides.... something I could not afford personally, but my Company, or a Vendor I bought from, paid the way.... So I got a taste of the good life....!If I were old, and rich, there is no way on Gods green earth I would go out to dinner in NYC in this day and age. Why would I when I have enough $ to have a personal chef, a driver for my limo to "get out of the house", etc.I can see that....but maybe they just occasionally want a night out, on the town? It's the only thing I could think of, for him doing this two nights a week, and at $50 bucks a test!!! Sheesh!!!Most rich ELDERLY people eat at home and are served by their personal chefs.Sounds like the restaurant wants two nights a week, for their rich, ELDERLY patrons, to be able to leave the home they've been held captive in, for a safer night out?
He's doing it because he is a sheep, and he is paid to test just how far other sheep will go.
Or...he's stupid.
New Yorkers, the Rich and elderly, do not live in New York City, to stay home with their chef... imo....
