A fun way to 'long lunch' on a Friday

See All Lists
1) Tell the boss you're not coming back after lunch! 2) Go to Society for some of their stick-to-your-Ribs! Well they're not called that but the ribs are good. Get fries too. Drink wine. 3) Go across the road to Rodneys. Get a Caesar (comes with big prawn). Order some oysters if you need more food by now. 4) Take a walk, just a few blocks but enough to help pace yourself. Go to The Refinery. Order Earl Grey Martini. Could be a good time for some cheese and charcuterie. ; )

If I could add a star to my update I would!  Unlike the places that have been losing stars due to auto-grats The Refinery's menu actually states that 18% will be added to your bill.  Fair enough - we've been warned.  They didn't add it to ours though…More »
