If anyone is planing on staying at Waldorf and not eating the free breakfast (Hechsher, Early flight, etc') please PM shimino1

If you get free drinks vouchers and don't use them, I'll buy it off you for 10 shek per voucher.
PM shimino1

If anyone is planing on staying at Waldorf and not eating the free breakfast please PM dragoddfer, and he may be able to pay for the breakfast.

Instead of Shabbos lunch you can do away with the free breakfast.

Loads of people were eating full on shabbos meals last shavuos at breakfast.. they used rolls from breakfast and the hotel happily supplied them with grape juice...
meanwhile... the other half hotel is half asleep while these guys are rocking up in full garb with the gantze mishpoche... interesting to see actually...

Do they release a menu with specific items in advance?
How do the Shabbos/Yom Tov dinner offerings compare to what's on the regular weekday menus?

I have a reservation for Cash & Points that I want to give over to someone,
Will the cash part be charged to my CC I used to book the reservation, or will it be charged to the CC of the guest checking in?
