Can anyone recommend a good place to go within a reasonable cab distance of Union Square? TIA.

Pretty good place for a client meal. Supper club'ish atmosphere.

Jeanty @ Jack's also does a delicious steak tartare with a cone of crispy hot french fries. Wed Apr 12 14:22:47 -0700 2006 222630 0 nooodles 1 222639 Cafe de la Presse has steak tartare.

Although I haven't tried all the versions mentioned, I would say that Jeanty at Jack's and Bix are two of my favorites, though any of these three would be appropriate for a business dinner. a sante, Curtis Wed Apr 12 14:42:35 -0700 2006 222630 0 Curtis 1 222654 I should have said that I'm not taking the client out, they're dining out on their own. These are all good suggestions, I'll pass them on. Thanks!!!

While that is way too far, Jeanty @ Jacks has the same item on their menu. He thinks it's the best he's had. And, Jeanty @ Jack's would be a pretty quick cab ride and really not all that far to walk.
