Rare Weekend 10.30.08

Our costume? We’re Chuck Bass.



Starting tonight, the steakhouse scene gets a little grander with the opening of Jeffrey Chodorow’s much-buzzed about Center Cut. Kick things off with a selection from The Sea Bar or with Berkshire Bacon Wrapped Scallops. Pair your starters with a nice Cab. Then, well, you know the drill…
