One week until the opening dinner!! We are going to have a good crowd this year . . . should be lots of fun.

With the Westcoaster in the rearview mirror, I thought I would tempt the attendees with a glimpse at the menu for the opening dinner at my club (which is generally considered to serve the best Italian food in NYC):

First Cold Antipasto, then hot antipasto (a complete assortment of all the cold dishes will be on the table, and the waiters will bring around plates and serve the assorted hot antipasto, like Shrimp Scampi, baked clams, etc.);

Then a choice of two pastas (I highly recommend the Porcini Mushroom Ravioli in the Truffle Cream Sauce);

Then your choice of a main course from the regular menus and specials;

(we usually skip the salad course, which would be served here, but you can have it if you want)

Then cheese and fruit;

Then Cookies and coffee (espresso, capucino, etc.);

Then Desert.

Sounds good Louis!

What's the possibility of you doing a deal with Grub Taxi, I'd like to place an order? Do you have Grub Taxi in NYC?

Good one Louis !!!!.
Making those of us who are not attending feel even more envious.
By the way Howard says he is not fussy but that he would prefer it if you had his usual Italian food which is crocodile or kangaroo pizza !!!!.
Hope you guys have fun but that seems most likely with what you have lined up.
Regards
Brett
