Oscar's Steakhouse

Your thoughts on the new name for Oscar's Steakhouse at the Plaza. It is supposed to open on December 15th. and the name has been changed to BEEF, BOOZE, AND BROADS.

Should have no problems with the Truth in Advertising police.

The name of the restaurant is Oscar's. It will be 2 restaurants in one -- on one side, a traditional steakhouse; on the other, a more casual Italian restaurant with a speakeasy atmosphere.

Beef, Booze & Broads sounds like something Oscar Goodman would say, but it's not the name of the place.

My first reaction is

And of course we should go with our initial reaction.

SORRY SUE, I MAY HAVE TAKEN IT OUT OF CONTEXT WHEN I READ IT IN TODAY'S NEWS ON HOME PAGE.
IT READ GOODMAN'S RESTURANT UPDATE AND IT SAID OSCAR'S UPDATE AND IT WAS DURING A CONVERSATION WITH THE FORMER MAYOR THAT HE SAID IT WOULD BE CALLED BEEF, BOOZER, AND BROADS VS OSCAR'S.

Much of what he says is said with "tongue in cheek." He does not own the restaurant -- the Plaza does.

Isn't he typically "drunk" when he speaks?

He typically has a martini in his hand. I don't, however, believe he's drunk as often as some people would like to think, lol. He's a very smart man who invented a persona that works for him.

If Oscar opens his mouth and no one is around, does he still smell of gin?

Well, they opened Monday night. The menu is posted on the Plaza website as well (https://www.plazahotelcasino.com/pdf/menus/Oscars_Menu.pdf ), kinda basic with a few interesting twists, certainly nothing high-end. Hopefully the food will be as good as the hype. I'll be keeping my ears open.
