caterer -
The price I mentioned is for food only, not waitstaff or drinks. It will not be a formal event and I want easy to handle food that can be served with minimal prep.
caterer -
I am looking for a caterer for a party for about 50 people. It will be a cocktail/dinner party, not a sit down meal and I want to ensure that people do not leave hungry. I heard Titanic does a good job at this. Has anyone used them? Also, my budget is in the $25 per person range and am wondering if I can I get good quality at that price.
Exotic Brunch
By exotic I was refering to anything other than your typical bacon and eggs, french toast,etc...Maybe not the best description. Suggestions like Melchorita and Senzala are what I was looking for.
Exotic Brunch
Sounds good but I am not sure I can sell the meat focus to the whole crowd. Are there other options?
Exotic Brunch
I'm looking for a different brunch experience for this Sunday and wonder if there are any suggestions out there. My usual places would be Byblos or dim sum to fit this bill but I was wondering if anyone has any other ideas. Also, the place would need to be able to accomodate a group of eight (including 2 kids).
Lunch Downtown
The cap price could go up. I set the price to limit the high end places and to rule out the food courts. If you have other ideas, let me know.
Lunch Downtown
Any one have any original ideas for lunch downtown (not old Montreal) in the $20 per person range (without wine or tip)? I am looking for something out of the ordinary that goes beyond the usual sandwhich fare.
Challenge
From what I have seen I would like to include any of the following in no particular order: Babbo, Gramercy Tavern, Veritas, Hearth, Tia Pol, Lupa, August, Balthazar, L'impero, One if by Land, The Place (for atmosphere, anyway) and the list can go on.
Anything in there that I should avoid or have i missed a gem? Also, Is it realistic to get a great meal for $200 for 2 people at any of these places (3 courses, not tasting menu, with maybe a bottle of wine or a couple glasses each). Should I be revising upward on the price?
All innput would be greatly appreciated.
Challenge
2 nights (Friday and Saturday), 2 people (couple, adventurous), $200 (per meal all in). Where would you go in Manhattan to make the most of these two nights? I am looking for great food, great atmosphere and a contrast between the two.
My wife and I will be in the city at the end of March and have not been for a while. I have looked through the board and would probably need a month to hit every place that I would like. So, if you had to narrow it down to 2 what would they be?
