        <content>I'm getting taken out to lunch and have to choose between Brasserie, Vong, and the Four Seasons (having never been to any of them).
 
Where should I go?</content>

      <content>Since you're not paying I would do Four Seasons. Vong will do the 20.12 lunch through Labor Day and Brasserie fwill do it for this week and next. I have eaten at all 3 and they are all good...........though Vong I haven't been to in about 3 years.</content>

      <content>Definitely do The Four Seasons.  An NYC institution.  Vong and Brasserie are nothing special.</content>

      <content>So, is this your "interview lunch" with a McKinsey partner?  I agree with the two prior posts...4 Seasons is by far the best choice.  And if you want to score points, request the 4 Seasons Grill Room for the ultimate in power lunching...</content>

      <content>Julian Niccolini, the "face guy" at the 4 seasons, is a disgusting pig of a man who has been sued multiple times for sexual harassment of his staff. He is a horrible, horrible person.
 
And, the food is completely overrated and overpriced. </content>
