Where have we been?

Did we give up bar eating? Leave town? Quit writing? Find a higher calling?

None of the above...

Excuse: As much as we love eating at bars, life is about more, and there's been a lot going on.

Frankly, we just got a little discombubulated.

So let's dive back in.

There's nothing wrong with Keith McNally's latest venture Minetta Tavern Redux. In fact everything was right when I entertained my friend Eric from down east there last June. But, what can I tell you that you haven't already heard?

We had...

The Squid
(Don't miss it.)

The incredibly tasty if ridiculously expensive burger.

The Bartenders
Nice guys and consummate pros.

"Don't take that picture! Somebody famous might be over there."
(Like I care.)

Good night Keith.

We're back. Coming up some worthy ventures that deserved more timely reports.
