For carnivores
27 October 2009
One of my favorite places in NYC is the Old Homestead steak house, the oldest steak house in the City. When I was living in Manhattan, I used to go there, often with my friend Chris, for a catch up, an injection of proteins and a few drinks.
The steaks are big. My favorite, the 32 Oz Gotham Rib Steak, the biggest one of course. Tender, juicy and exceptionally good. Chris and I would usually share the Chef’s special bread preparation for starters, a side of creamed spinach and lots of wine from their well stocked cellar. Well, and a large steak each, of course.
The waiters are good and friendly. The bar at the entrance nearly a dive bar.
Located in the Meatpacking district, the place itself is nothing special. In fact, it can seem a bit seedy and run-down with very large rooms, a dark atmosphere and a mix of smartly dressed couples and large family groups. A big plastic cow outside and a dodgy looking neon sign.
But, who cares? You go there for the meat. The most tender, tasty, succulent beef in New York. Prepared to perfection and yes, did I already said that? Tender!
Being born under this sign determines many talents, as well as other characteristics that may not be so commendable. Rats are very lively and need a lot of mental and physical stimulation. They can be calm and perceptive, but sometimes their brains can cause a mental restlessness, tempting them to take on too much, only to discover they are unable to meet their commitments. Rats are blessed with one of the best intellects going. Add to their intelligence a curiosity and a bright imagination, and they seem as sharp as a needle.
