Strip House: Whittling Down the NYC Bucket List

Working on the bucket list went on hold last week since we were working on the move and the Peru trip, but the week prior we made some progress.

One of the activities on the list was to have an excellent steak before departing. And, at the top of my list was the steakhouse, Strip House. I went there years ago when I worked for Avanade and we had an enthusiastic group called "Meatopia". We would visit the city's best steakhouses and rate them accordingly. My personal favorite is where Paul, Phil, Corrine and I returned.


The ambiance is a bit irreverent and tongue-in-cheek, made obvious by it's name (think of a 60's bordello theme). And it has a nice laid back feel. All of this is made better by the excellent company and some mighty fine wine we brought in with us (taxes for bringing alcohol into AUS are high, so we needed to drink or give away our grog before we moved).

The steaks were prepared nicely, the wine was tasty (a Caymus Cab and a Cannonball Cab), and a great time was had by all.

After dinner we capped off the evening with a couple hours of karaoke (another bucket list item).

Hey, it's a tough job but someone has to do it!
