We go to NYC a lot, maybe once a quarter and sorry to say VinDiviners, that you’re not going to get new hotel recos from yours truly. Why? Cuz we stay at one cool, happenin’ place, that’s right, The Chambers Hotel. And it’s because of the treatment we get from everyone there, especially José, the Concierge who WALKED us to this new restaurant in the rain to make sure we got right in and got a table. José is the man. Not to mention Joseph, who walked us and “vip’d” us at the Beacon. Love you two.
Now onto Quality Meats. When José first recommended it, we were like, “Is he taking us to some big ole’ Chicago syle, cigar smoky, fat guys sittin’ around a table undoing the top button of their pants typa place?” 
With a name like Quality Meats that’s why we thought. Boy were we wrong. It’s very industrial, jam packed with pretty people. Cool lighting, small place, very cozy. The Smith & Wollensky Group owns this and if you’ve ever been to one of those meateries, you know it’s gonna be the bomb.
But whoa, they only had a 12oz filet mignon (filet, shocker huh?) and we weren’t hungry enough for two of those. But we did have a chuckle at the 64 oz. Ribeye for two. Wow. They also serve 3 Filet medallions all cooked in their different ways. Sharing? You KNOW we love the share plates. So we ordered up one of those and it was a lip smacka. We also ordered up the Sashimi of Hamachi which I wouldn’t order again cuz…and to top off of protein bonanza we had the Sauteed Spinach, very good.
Funny? What’s up with NYC and all of the conversations that happen about climbing the corporate ladder? Guy next to us was on a date (she didn’t take her overcoat and scarf off the entire night, wassup widat?) He looked like George Peppard way before The A-Team, maybe in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Anyhoo, he’s chattin’ up his chillin’ lady (literally), talking about how he’s the star of his sales team. In fact, he was psyched his manager said he’s not “on the team” he’s “outside the team”. Was that a compliment? This guy sure thought so…LOL. Tool. And of course ALL THE DUDES are suits. Don’t blame QM for that.
Drinks? Wine by the glass this time. John the Roshambo Zin, love that wine. Janine: a Ferari Carano Blend. The wine list is pretty ridiculous. Finished it up with some porto, yummy, yummy.
