Restaurant Review: Robert’s Steakhouse at Penthouse Executive Club

by Desha Winborne June 17, 2014

written by Desha Winborne 2 minutes read

Location: 603 W 45th Street

Cuisine: American Steakhouse Items: 2 appetizers, 2 cocktails, 3 entrees

Best Dish: One of the best New York Strip Steaks in the city. The Executive chef loves to prepare steak and it shows!

Overall: Robert’s Steakhouse was surprisingly comfortable, with superb customer service and amazing atmosphere. This is ain’t your run of the mill Gentleman’s Club expect to be treated like royalty.

Whenever a great friend and fellow foodie joins me for dinner, our initial expectations command a nice relaxed space with an interesting menu. The words Gentleman’s Club never even come to mind, and yet that’s exactly where we met on a rainy Friday night. I stood outside the doors of the space on the midtown’s west side wondering if I should bail, honestly the thought of random nipples invading my eye sight while enjoying my meal didn’t seem at all appealing.

Director: Phil Lloyd

Writer: Micheal Bacall

Cast: Channing Tatum, Jonah Hill, Ice Cube, Amber Stevens

Jenko (Tatum) and Schmidt (Hill) are back on the job as undercover officers but this time around they are masquerading as college students. Having had success infiltrating and bringing down a high school drug ring the duo are now faced with a similar challenge in discovering the dealers behind a deadly drug being sold at a local college. Though Schmidt ran with the popular kids in their high school caper, college is different ball game and he struggles to keep up with “Jenko’s” frat boy persona.

Restaurant Review: The Cutting Room

by Desha Winborne May 28, 2014

written by Desha Winborne 1 minutes read

Location: 44 E. 32nd Street

Cuisine: Eclectic American Bar Food

Items: 2 Appetizers, 2 cocktails, 1 pizza, 2 entrees and 1 dessert

Best Dish: The best dish is a tie between the delicious beefy burger and the sweet succulent crab cakes. The crab cakes were moist and delicious but how can you resist a big juicy burger?

Overall: Great adult atmosphere. This is not a family place this is the space for mature grown up fun.

Now that the weather has finally improved, its is finally time to take our party to the harbor. Spirit Cruises offers several daily cruises aboard the posh Spirit of New York yacht. We recently had the privilege of enjoying the season’s maiden voyage aboard the newly renovated vessel. Last week we attended a press showcase which allowed media and industry insiders the chance to experience a two hour tour complete with dinner buffet and DJ. Since our last visit with Spirit Cruises there have been several fabulous changes.

Movie Review: Neighbors

by Desha Winborne May 7, 2014

written by Desha Winborne 1 minutes read

Writer: Andrew J. Cohen

Director: Nicholas Stoller

Cast: Seth Rogen, Zach Efron, Rose Byrne

Happy but bored couple (Rogen and Byrne) get more excitement than they can bargain for when a wild frat moves next door to their dream home. The hijinks and insanity abound as the couple try to match wits with the impossibly perfect Teddy President of the wildest fraternity in town. From start to finish the laughs and raunchy humor never let up. The very first scene is a mild sex scene with the not to exciting couple trying to have spontaneous sex in a chair, until they are interrupted by their adorable baby girl. If Rogen’s horrible attempt at dirty talk doesn’t make you laugh, his awkward reaction to his baby girl certainly will.
