I think mine might be the guy with the big mustache at Convivium.
He's helpful w/o being overly solicitous and he knows his stuff but isn't snooty.

edward at yamato is amazing, as is michael at blue ribbon.
benjamin at applewood, although a host not a waiter, is also top-notch. _________________ Drink good beer.

I like the girls at La Taqueria - Brenda and Diana. You can always count on them after a long day.

i was coming back from the park once. with my dog.
and I went to check out their menu
and the waitress comes running out
"you're not gonna bring that dog in with you?!!!"
me: "no. i'm just checking out your menu"
my dog gave her the finger and i promised her never to go in there
that. and plus it's on hallowed ground

I loved the Blah Blah Lounge!
Sadly, I tend to eat out in Manhattan so much that no real favorites come to mind. The bartenders at Blue Ribbon are fun, but I can't remember their names.
Owen at Great Lakes (or was it Loki) was fun, but he's not there any more.
That said, I'm going to keep a lookout for all of these people when I go out....I think somebody owes me a steak dinner

the Blah Blah was great
i spent so much money i couldn't afford there
and killed so many brain cells i didn't have
and the coolest part was
the same comedian you saw there on a wednesday night
you'd see a few days later as a receptionist at some store on 5th ave
i really hope Cosmo decides to reopen it
that would be more than awesome
these young kids these days don't know about the blah blah...

I'll take great food anyday over a "Wine 101" menu. And the love letters under glass were just a bit much. Any restaurant of this caliber that supports the "slow food" movement and is dedicated to regional farmers and locally grown produce deserves support.
And didn't we all have a nice talk already about the misuse of the word gay? _________________ But that's impossible.

Yep - in 2003 - in the interest of supporting singer/songwriters - I went to hear Patrick McKeown and Aviv Roth, but other times I thought it what was presented as acts was/were lame. _________________ But that's impossible.

ah yes. aviv. he wrote a blah blah theme song
it still rings in my brain every now and then
it was an acquired taste i guess
if you liked blah blah. you loved it
if you didn't. you preferred fine wines
to each his own.
