Kent Wang in NYC, 27 Sept - 1 Oct

[Kent Wang]

No reason why I couldn't do all four of those bars, right?

I've read over reviews of Hill Country on eGullet and the general impression is not so good. And for a person that has been to all of the top ten Central Texas-style joints, it would just be depressing.

 

[Kent Wang]

I will be bringing a number of unreleased pocket squares and cuff links. As a rough estimate, there will be 4 new pocket square designs and 6 new cuff links that have not been released on the website yet. This will be your first chance to gaze upon -- and potentially purchase -- them.

As of now, I will most likely be free Monday (1 Oct) happy hour to evening and Tuesday (2 Oct) lunch. I hope to have some more openings before then and will notify you here.

I will be at PDT, a cocktail lounge, on Monday from 6pm and into the evening. PDT (NY Mag review) 113 St. Marks Pl., New York, NY 10009 nr. First Ave. 212-614-0386 Please let me know if and when you will attend.

Thanks for all the bar recs, guys. I've never been to any of these spots.

I think I can make it. Would probably be around 7.

it is like one of those love stories where the woman who had a heart defect got a transplant of her husband's heart after he died in a car accident.
so he goes on living inside of her. :weep:

I digress, but I've been to Kreutz, Smitty's, Blacks and City Market. I guess I have Meuller's on my list...What are the other 5? I'll probably be back there over the next year or so...

Anyone know the exact location of Milk & Honey? If so, would you be willing to PM it to me? I'd love to take a date there...

I think I can make it between 730 and 9.

I'll be at PDT from 7-10ish. Look forward to seeing you all there.

Off to see the wizard...

My breast pocket is tingling already!

Cooper's in Mason and Llano. Hard to say who else really fills out the top ten; it's a little contentious between #8-15. Sam's in Austin is pretty good, probably #9 or 10.

A happy evening. PDT is a semihidden bar alongside a hot dog restaurant on St. Marks. You enter through the restaurant, whose phone booth has a false wall, speakeasy-style. Kent brought with him a choice selection of squares and links, as well as sample dress shirts. The squares and links we know well. The shirts are well made; a well fitting shirt in these fabrics at his desired price point would be an attractive option. I wore a SB peaked lapel black flannel coat and a white spread collar shirt. For my naked breast pocket, I purchased Kent's white silk square with the tone on tone paisley design. Chorse departed for dinner, but after the bar Kent & I went off to the opening night party for THE BEEBO BRINKER CHRONICLES, a stage version of the popular 1950s lesbian pulp novels: http://www.hourglassgroup.org/beebo.html I wrote about it this month in American Theatre magazine. At the party we saw many attractive women, nearly all of them strangely unavailable to us. Go figure!

The bar was very dark and no flash photography was allowed.
