    Suits in New York....where to go?

    1. LS Men's Clothing on 45th Street. Izzy will get an excellent H. Freeman MTM suit for you at 1/2 the price of a Samuelsohn from Paul Stuart; maybe 90% as good, but being MTM, it may fit better. You will have to wait a few weeks, but you will only pay $700 or thereabouts. 2. Paul Stuart. You...

    BLT Steak in the downtown W Hotel may have the best cooking in the City at present. Be sure to try the short ribs. The popovers are yummy!

    Florence or Milan

    I was just in Milan for 4 days, November 24-27. It had been many years since our last visits, in 1982 and 1984. Things have changed, none really for the better. It is still majestic in places, but with many beggars and hawkers. We saw lots of tourists at the Duomo and the Galleria on Saturday...

    Do you make restaurant reservations via Open Table and give "special messages" to the restaurant?

     I believe that I posted that in response to a claim that we only had babecue joints here in Atlanta. Actually, we have a rather limited number of places here where the patons and the staff all speak French. However, I still take my wine basket and huge stemwear to nealry every place we...

    Do you make restaurant reservations via Open Table and give "special messages" to the restaurant?

    NY Times-October 9, 2012 About some of those exhausting tasting menus Critic’s Notebook Nibbled to Death Technical mastery and a sensitivity to nature’s forms distinguish Matthew Lightner’s 28-course tasting menu at Atera. This meal began with a beer macaron with sturgeon caviar. By PETE...

    Do you make restaurant reservations via Open Table and give "special messages" to the restaurant?

     Strange, but I almost remember that a very lovely lady, sitting next to you at a celebration at a certain grand hotel in London on September 1, told me that when she ate at the French Laundry, her waiter would not stop talking and treated her and her companions like rubes.

    Do you make restaurant reservations via Open Table and give "special messages" to the restaurant?

    I do. And I always request: Please no first name introduction by waiter. Do not call us "folks" or "you guys." Do not say: "I will be taking care of you tonight," "do you have any questions about the menu?," "awesome," fantastic," "amazing," "good choice," or "still working on that?" Do not...

    Cheap alterations in Atlanta

    Hong Kong gave me the "hard sell" about buying a suit from it. Brooks Bros. suggested I try Star Alterations on Piedmont Road accross from the old Gold Club location. It is not very friendly, but it does good work, and is fast and reasonable.

    jeans & flip flops

    Yes. You have gone as low as you can go with those trousers. Why try to improve things with even slightly decent footwear?

    All that a waiter needs to say, unless he is asked a question

    1. Good evening, do you care for an aperitif? (As he hands you the menu and wine list). 2. Have you made your [entrée (appetizer) and main course] selections? 3. Should I send over the sommelier? This is optional, as many restaurants in the U.S. do not have a sommelier. 4. Finished? (When...

    The story of Guy Burgess in Moscow and the best historical movie ever made for lovers of fine Englis

    The story of Guy Burgess in Moscow and the best historical movie ever made for lovers of fine English clothing and shoes. It is funny too. It helps if you are familiar with the Philby, Burgess and McLean MI-5 spy scandal of the 1950s.

    Recommend a Paris Neighborhood for 4-day visit

    Definitely not the Marais, unless you find something appealing about a mostly seedy old ghetto which is becoming rapidly less Jewish and much more gay. I would suggest either the 6th or 7th, the former being, in parts, more cutesy touristy and the latter somewhat grander.

    Every time I see somone wearing a suit with no tie, I think he looks like one of these guys

     zzie LS men'sziezzie Actually, a few years ago I chatted at length with Martin Greenfield while I was buying a suit from him at a BB trunk show. I asked him if he knew Izzy at LS Men's Clothing. He said: "Oh yes, I used to sell his mother some things." Then he said: "Izzy has all of the...
