Among registered Democrats in New York City, including those who are undecided yet leaning toward a candidate, if the Democratic primary were held today, here is how the contest would stand: • 25% Anthony Weiner • 20% Christine Quinn • 13% Bill Thompson • 10% Bill de Blasio • 8% John Liu • 2% Erick Salgado • 1% Sal Albanese • 1% Other • 18% Undecided “The Weiner candidacy has scrambled the contest,” says Dr. Lee M.

  • And Steak-Cut Tomatoes
    - Advertisement - Foodservice Forum: In New York, iconic eatery draws them in with steak -- and steak-cut tomatoes July 2, 2008 NEW YORK -- If you've been to New York and missed eating at Peter Luger Steak House, get your carnivore appetite back here. The Brooklyn location (a second restaurant on Long Island in Great Neck opened in 1960) has been dishing out the finest USDA Prime steaks since 1887. It was originally established as Carl Luger's Caf?, Billiards & Bowling Alley in the predominantly German neighborhood tucked under the Williamsburg Bridge. In 1950, the original owners put the restaurant up for auction. Sol Forman bought it for what was publicized in restaurant tabloids at the time for "a whimsically low bid." His granddaughter, Jody Storch, vice president, now has the job of buying the meat for the restaurant. The current owners are comprised of Forman family members including Amy Rubenstein, the wife of Howard Rubenstein, the legendary publicist whose clients have included George Steinbrenner, Rupert Murdoch and Donald Trump. And while we're name dropping, let's include members of Peter Luger's famous client list: James Cagney, Alfred Hitchcock, Robert De Niro, Rudolph Giuliani, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Nicolas Cage and Henry Kissinger. "But we're in this for everyone, not just celebrities," said Jody Storch. "We consider our restaurants sort of simple but good, and we appeal to people across every economical level. We're a local, community-minded restaurant that draws clients from everywhere in the world. What we are all about 1 / 4 is presenting a wonderful steak.
