Sigh::What type of food? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Angelo's Fairmount Tavern. Old-school Italian place, not at all fancy. Most of the pasta/veal/chicken is very good. They also make their own house chianti, spiked w/a little extra alcohol. Salads/soups are also good.

Angeloni's down the street is a little fancier, but I don't think the food is as good overall.

I don't want to sidetrack too much, but are there any good NY style pizza places? I have tried several, and although they look like NY style pizza, they taste nothing like it.

Nice and easy...

Dock's Oyster House on Atlantic Avenue. EXTREMELY GOOD, worth the money imo. Make reservations.

Is there a PALM steakhouse in AC?

I would go to Ruth's Chris otherwise, beware of thousand degree plate (no joke butter is sizzling on hot plate). Get out of the way when the waitstaff is operating around you, DO NOT reach for anything.

NO wait. There is a palm in AC. At the Tropicana.

I have been to the original in manhattan, with the 90 year old waiters. The place, frankly, is kinda run down but screams class. The amount of wealth some of the patrons there either posess or handle for people is eye popping. You routinely will see $50,000+ Audimeirs Piguet (sp?) watches. Old Money.

I suggest, and this would be a fine meal and not on the cheap side:

App: either Tuna sashimi or the crabmeat ctail if you want a sald either instead of, or in place of an appetizer, skip the greens and just get the crabmeat

SIDES: These are really 50/50 in importance of your choice of the cut of steak at the Palm, see below. The sides I would have, and this would be for table of four to all share are - mushroom, hashbrown (great), cream spinach, and freedom fries. Maybe asparagus, for the guy that ordered the FILET.

Steak Entree: Bone In (18-20 oz I think) rare charred exterior of course. Steak should, and usually Ruth's chris staff is quick, Im not ognna go into all temps Mid rare should be charred with a warm red center. It is about half hot pink inside. When I was a waiter I used to say to customers (males of course at all male tables in the right situations):

Customer orders Medium and you say back to them what it would be. "Warm Pink center", I would add "Warm pink center, [Then I would Nod my head] You Like those dont you?" or something to that effect. It was more of a mumbled sentence but they loved it. EVERYONE picked that up and it never once failed for a laugh.

If not the BI strip then the Ribeye Med rare. NO SAUCE on the side. Take a bite when it comes, from wherever you like to start, and then I add some salt to the top of the steak. Eat a few bites, then feast on the sides. The steak is really best right as you get it and you should savor this window of opportunity to have it probably when it is peaking. If brought out fast enough.

ANOTHER SUGGESTION, at a steakhouse, at least anyone where you pay more than $34 or close minimum for a steak, Order it medium or medium rare. And if you send it back, expect it overcooked on return. If they screw up your steak like you ordered rare and it is clearly medium well, or WDone, just ask for a new one and look at the waiter or manager like they are nuts and say "look at this, it is all grey I wanted red meat" This will NOT come immediately, steaks take a while. So feast on ample sides, hope someone else ordered the steak for TWO and will throw you a piece lol. Dont order a filet unless you are a model or you wear suits so expensive you couldnt afford new ones if you grew out of them.

If you order a steak rare and it comes medium rare, eat it dont complain
Order Black blue it comes rare, eat it dont complain
Order Med rare it comes medium, eat it whiner
Order medium it comes medium well, eat it, stop ordering medium meat at reputable establishments girly man
Ordered anything below these, stop wasting your money on prime aged beef, go elsewhere and get seafood.

WINE: I would order, on my salary, a bottle of Stags or Frogs Leap Cabernet. Maybe Charles Krug Generations, would spend up to maybe 120 on a bottle, maybe a bit more if I was winning. You are gonna need probably three bottles, maybe four if you are enjoying yourselves. but thre is usually good. Or do two and some ports.

No Dessert.

Sorry for the length.

Good luck.
