$50.00 cover charge.
Yup, that’s upscale.
In the meat packing district of NYC $50 barely buys a hamburger there are many a $50 burger in that area for lunch not dinner settings. Steaks are $100+ with 2 and 3 hundred dollar steaks not uncommon. They are targeting wealthy clients people who spend $300 on a bottle of wine and $100 25 year old scotchs. I spent a month in NYC least year before all this madness one of the best burgers of my life was at the Old Homestead Steakhouse it was $45 just for the burger, one side was $15 and my Manhattan’s were 25 each this was lunch time dinner goes up from there.
