-
Peter Luger Original location, Brooklyn

-
Japonica
-
McDonald's
-
Per Se or one of the db places(dbgb, db bistro, baloud, ect ect)
-
Cheesecake Factory the most delicious and satisfying food man can experience on this earth.

You have to be really careful in Manhattan. A dinner for two could cost you a $1000 bucks. I always find a place in the village. The restaurants tend to be priced fair compared to Manhattan. One place in Manhattan that's cheap and never disappoints is Carmine's on 92 and Broadway the original.

That's obscene. If I had millions in the bank, I still wouldn't pay it on general principles.
Apparently Vegas gets even worse. It's "dining experience" they said. No, it's a getting fleeced experience. Have these people never been inside a supermarket? They think good beef costs $600/lb? How refined is their palate that a $100 bottle of wine is unacceptable?
-
Benihana. Love that shit
-
Virgil's BBQ in Manhattan.
-
Il Mulino in the Village. Amazing Italian food and tons of it!
-
I've turned many on to Hill Country. None were disappointed.

Even for someone like me, whose cigars cost more than a decent bottle of wine, those prices are insane. One hundred per person is fine. Maybe double that if I really go wild and stuff myself -- but probably I would consider that overkill already unless I was drinking heavily.
As you say, good beef is $30-40 max per kg*. So with a decent bottle of red and a few glasses of cognac that would be $150 for me at most. Anything more and I might as well cosign for the owner's third Lambo, and cut out the middle man.
*Don't get me started on Kobe or Wagyu beef. Highly overrated.

Yeah, like most things I get a sense of a diminishing increase in excellence and a sharply rising price past a certain level of quality. I doubt I'd appreciate the difference between $400 and $1000 cuisine. Ingredients and kitchen staff only get so good. Past that you're paying their location rent and I can buy a lot of petrol for $600. Tbh, I'm hard pressed to name an expensive meal that I enjoyed more than the $20 mexican chicken mole or pulled pork bbq I had on a trip to Chapel Hill, NC. (Alain Fabregue's was worth it but it wasn't $500 a head.) An occasional VSOP and my old box of Monte 2s suit me just fine if I feel like an indulgence.
*The Wagyu I was served on someone else's dollar wasn't the best beef I've ever had by a long shot. That was the prime rib at Volcano, Hawaii, in a stark cafeteria with plastic tables, believe it or not. I don't know what they did to that poor cow in the way of hormones and force feeding but it was out of this world.

KFC.

club rectum serves awesome meals, cheap but still with style.

Benihana

Chinese-Peruvian cuisine. Get the Peruvian chicken. :D
-
Benihana
There we go, someone who agrees. I ate there twice in the last month. Fucking amazing. The key is to bring a girl because she won't finish her plate, then you can finish it for her. Extra food.
-
I dont give a piss about any of them.

Always gotta have hot sake with the meal. Never tried the second part though. I was at Benihana last week with some girl. I told them it was her bday when it actually wasnt. Won me points on the sense of humor scale. Try it next time before the foot massage.

I am going with Sparks!!!!

Are you a former friend of Gotti?
-
Anyone been to a steakhouse called Gallagher's or a bar called O'Flaherty's? Only two places I remember patronizing when I visited. Oh, and the Time Square Brewery.
-

Had some Wagyu when visiting Tokyo last year. Surprisingly mediocre. I'm BBQing myself a good 3-Lb steak later this week. Let's see how that measures up. :)

Sounds kinda puny by Getbig standards but if the health look is your thing then I'm not gonna judge.

Damn, you're wealthy too? There go my plans to steal Bertha Butt from you. :( ;D

Come on that's a generic answer.
I have to go with Milos http://milos.ca/restaurants/new-york Tough finding anything better than this spot.

Ate in NYC many times on the company expense account. Favorites were Ben Bensons, Frankie and Johnnies in midtown. Sparks was alright as well.

Isn't Sparks where Paul Castellano was killed? Pretty interesting

Dr. Tongue's 3D House of Beef.

haha... Purple Drank for "grown ass" Hebrews.
I think the real purple drink is either koolaid or that stuff that comes in a gallon jug from the grocery that's purple.
Also, the proper term in the Hebrew community is simply "purple". As in "Pass me some purple He-bro"...
