BETTER RECOMMENDATION:

They often have live music downstairs at Hill Country -- and they have big communal tables that can accomodate your group.

I'd go so far as to say this is the best possible recommendation (if Texas country rock is the kind of music you're looking for).

What kind of music ARE you looking for?

 

[Petrol Pete]

ANY music is fine, just trying to have a good time. Music will certainly have an influance rather than having to sit and make entertaining conversation.

......and ANY cuisine is fine, (other than chicken fingers etc)

Hill Country. Check which nights they have bands.

Thanks guys

Oh man, how surreal is that? Are you serious? A restaurant themed on the Texas Hill Country?

And New Yorkers complain about that hotel in Vegas...

It's GOOD.

Simple question for JL.....

Nobu or Riingo?

 

[Monk]

I know this is for JL, but here's my 2 cents:

Yoshida or Nobu. Riingo just can't compare.

And then there's Masa ... but only if someone else is paying!

 

[justlooking]

Yasuda.

 

[justlooking]

Nobu over Riingo, though.

 

[justme]

It's GOOD.

I'll try it out the next time I'm in town.

I took a look at the menu. They serve Kruez's links and Blue Bell Ice Cream. That's pretty cool.

Kruez's is arguably one of the best and inarguably one of the biggest hill country bbq places. They're links are great, but I really love their pork chops. Blue Bell is a regional creamery headquartered in Brenham, Tx. In elementary school one of the best field trips was to Blue Bell.

They get points deducted for serving sweet tea, though. That's a southern, not Texan, tradition.

Have you eaten at Rosanjin, jl?

Yoshida or Nobu.

Yoshida?! Never heard of it.

Sushi Yasuda or Sushi of Gari is a better face-off.

The reason Riingo comes into play is strictly a name thing...... because I'm "Ringo".

No, have you?

I do love Sugiyama.

And now there's that new kaiseki place in the East Village, too.

But OTOH, she's Peruvian/Japanese, so Nobu.

 

[Ozzy]

I had sent her to a website with a list of NYC restaurants and links to their websites and told her to pick a few.... she came up with Riingo, Nobu, Aquavit, Babbo and Per Se.

btw...

Tonite is my stag nite so it's boys nite out.... contact Bender and work out a place.

I'm waiting for somebody to take me. I'll report back when/if somebody does. I'd also like to try Sugiyama. An unlikely location, but it sure looks good.
