Oh. You had me. I'd go sweet potato-pecan pie myself, but that's just nitpicking.

That looks great but like it would block your colon for a week. I'd be walking like I just got sold for a pack of cigarettes after that.

Default Trip Report

I'm still a little drunk from last night, so this is going to be choppy...

Left work and ran uptown to my apartment to change and play 64 losing hands of poker. Had (1) Sam Adams Light(this was all that was in fridge)

Hopped in a cab to Sparks, met my two friends for a drink. Fired up a bushmills neat then we were escorted to our seat.

I skipped lunch so I was immediately smitten with the warm roll and butter as we chose our wine for the evening.

We chose the clos du val cabernet 2001,

Ok on to the order, we got both hot seafood appetizers.

A little dissapointed with the shrimp, as there were three of us and they couldn't throw one more shrimp on there.

2nd bottle of the Cabernet


We all got a salad, me and my bud split the warm spinach and the caesar, both were really good, crisp fresh greens, light dressing. Good stuff.

For the main, I did another split with my other friend. Sparks is known for it's sirloin; but I'm a filet guy. So I split the filet and sirloin with my buddy. Both were possibly the best steaks I've had in New York (I have not been to Lugers). The sides though were a tad dissapointing.

Third bottle of cabernet.

Hashbrowns were good enough, but very hard to serve. Asparagus was excellent, but the creamed spinach was just not good. A little bland, too pureed for my tastes.

We didn't get any coffee or desert as Game 7 was just about to start and we wanted to get down to the Union Square area to watch the game. These bars generally sort of suck. They are yuppie bars BUT they are packed with amazing looking women. All young and vapid; but wonderful to look at.



Only bad part of the evening was that I lost credit card roulette. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

The old homestead has arguably the best creamed spinach in the world. Im dreaming right now of a big fat old homestead ribeye. Arghhh!
