I don't think they actually have take out. Regardless, any place that has a bacon appetizer is worth the trip.

That's why I wanted to go to Wolfgangs. Booked solid. Did you hit up any places for Restaurant Week?

What do you know about Roth's Steakhouse up by me? I'm intrigued because of it's proximity.

Dunno anything about Roth's but Brad has said good things about the place by the meatpacking district. When I want a steak in Matthattan I almost always go to Les Halles, sometimes to City Hall.

I've been to Les Halles a lot and enjoy it. Wolfgang's is my new favorite in the city, though. It was pretty much Luger's with a nicer space and without the hassle of reservations far in advance and getting to Brooklyn.

Does Bourdain still cook there regularly or is he off doing celebrity stuff most of the time now?

Re: Trip Report
 

Union Square area to watch the game

Which bars do you like there? I end up eating there a fair amount (Republic, Candela, Yama, Casa Mono, Union Square Cafe, Blue Water Grill, ...) but haven't really found any bars there that I really like. Years ago, we used to go to Coffee Shop all the time and it ruled, but that seems to have gone downhill.

On a tangentially-related note, this weekend I'm going to Esca for dinner. Been there?

Casa Mono is great. I end up boozing a decent amount at Old Town, which is convenient since they have pretty good burgers too. Otherwise I'm at Beauty Bar a lot or Craftbar, which is another good place to eat.
