by Matthew K. on I had a really nice time at STK. I mean, I'm a huge fan of steak as it is, so there wasn't much keeping me from liking it, but none-the-less... I had the shrimp cocktail and skirt steak and mac and cheese. Everything was very good, if not really spectacular. It's pretty much a standard american restaurant with a nice setting. I thought the service was good, everything arrived fast and our waiter was cool. I can't say if I'll go back or not, there's just too many good places to try in nyc ;)
by Luella Thormer on For starters, parking was easy to find. I'm knocking on wood so as not to jinx myself for future jaunts to this spot. A group of guys was walking in front of us. One stopped to pee on a wall on the street. We had to hop over said pee as it made its way down the slanted sidewalk. What are we getting ourselves into, I wondered? We joined the queu behind the guy who couldn't wait 5 minutes to use a toilet. The rest of the line was pretty young, which again made me nervous about what I'd find inside. Cover was $10, affordable for San Francisco after 11pm. Security at the door was a little too stern - "you can't cross this line until after the hostess has your money in her hand," accompanied by an actual physical displacement of my self behind said line. At that point, I was in a sour mood, expecting the worst from the experience to come. But hey, it turns out we had a really good time! Yes, the crowd was mostly young, but there was some variety in terms of age. While most were seemingly semi-trendy yuppies, I can't really complain because I'm guessing that's what other people in clubs think of me, too. We aren't very exciting as subjects for people watching, comrades, but we make one another feel comfortable in public places. The DJ played some fun music, mashing together contemporary and classic songs, mostly from the hip hop genre. We loved the video diplays that accompanied the music! I danced about 90% of the time, toward the end of the night the quality of the music seemed to simmer down which was too bad. Drinks were reasonable - $8 for top shelf vodka mixed drinks. Getting through the bar to actually get a drink became more time consuming as the night passed. Next time I'll know to two fist before midnight to compensate. Oh, and why did I think the guy wearing the turban was so sexy? Maybe more guys should start wearing them to clubs?
