Location: 314 W 11th Street, New York, NY 10014 (at Greenwich St)
SBE score: 91
Burger (with Roquefort cheese and shoestring french fries) = $17
This was the SBE holiday party. Luke and Kate played Wii bowling today, and Brian and Leila productively went Christmas shopping. Plus, we all had to buy our $5 White Elephant gifts.
By 5:30pm, when we arrived at the Spotted Pig, the snow was coming down hard and sticking.
Throughout dinner, Leila and Brian broke out into song, we exchanged gifts (candy jewelery, head massager, olive picks for martinis, and G.W.B playing cards), and we educated our very cool (apparently unusual for this place) waitress on D.H. Lawrence beer/movie reference.
Overall, this place would be better if you didn't have to come at 5:30 to get seated at 7:00 (a little less hipster, a little more neighborhood bar) and also if the cheese didn't overwhelm the ginormous patty (the cheese was strong and salty). Leila and Kate got points for finishing their burgers, but Brian and Luke did better on the fries.
Total Bill = $182 (priceless memories?)
