Can't we find a place a little more upscale than EJ's? A DO isn't just a simple get together; people spend time and money to gather and shmooze about things we value. It's a DO (dine out/day out) not a HO (hang out).
my 2 cents.
I kinda agree, but I'm okay with EJs because I'm not planning on spending a lot anyway. From the one time I walked into MB with a date (and no res) I realized you need a res bc it's packed but it definitely would be a good atmosphere for a DO. Although, I don't know about the bad reviews... NoBo is the pasta place nowadays. I think it's still pasta...Again, anywhere is fine with me - will just determine how much food I'll be getting for my money. :-p
BTW... DW just approved - I'm in!
noturbizniss, yeah? That would be great! Any others to join the NYC ride?
