P.J. Clarke’s Is Not a Midtown Lunch (But They Make a Damn Good Burger)
As soon as I sat down for lunch at P.J. Clarke’s (on 3rd Ave. & 55th) and looked at the menu, I prayed that I wouldn’t bump into anybody I knew. Looking around at all the blue button up shirts with ties I realized that probably wouldn’t be an issue. Is this how the other half lives? Amazing. If you get to go out to fancy work lunches like P.J. Clarke’s on a regular basis, consider yourself lucky. I never go, unless I’m invited by pizza and hamburger king Adam Kuban. He immediately pointed out that I could get a hamburger for $8.90 (under the $10 price range.) No cheese though, and no fries either (of course.) Not really much of a deal, so P.J. Clarke’s gets disqualified from being an official Midtown Lunch. But that doesn’t mean I can’t tell you that the burger is pretty damn tasty (you may say the secret ingredient is salt.)

I think the cheese add was 95¢. So you could upgrade your burger and still come in 15¢ below the $10 price cap. You’d have to drink water, and you’d have to stiff the waitress on the tip.

Now that my husband has seen your face, Zach, you can be sure he will chime in soon with commentary, suggestions, and near-obligatory male affection. Worry not, he is a very good kisser, having practiced for days on end on his blow-up doll (which he calls “Elizabeth”, and bought used at a 10% discount, if such things inflate you)

All these years Zach has been describing himself as a “fat man,” and it turns out it was LIES!

lol Sarah the first time I met Zach, I had to refrain from saying “I thought you said you were FAT, dude”. I should have known; growing up with um, larger than usual men in the house, I should have known that people who are actually fat rarely call themselves fat frequently.
