The Palm

Editorial Review

New York fine dining visits DC country cousins under the behest of George Bush the first. Resulting "American fare" menu pulled straight out of The Godfather–you know, back when the mafia still ate red meat. Crisp white linen tablecloths are begging for a good blood-spattering, alas. Elegance of the roaring 20's played out by today's millionaires, be they youthful or wrinkled, legal or not. Plebes granted occasional entry for the ultimate Washington congratulatory luncheon.
