    Ate at the one on Wall Street a couple of weeks back. In NYC for some fun with my wife. Wedding at the Cunard building.

    I have a bunch of steak knives from bobby vans and interestingly I was using one yesterday to cut strawberries for my daughter.

    When I was a young first year analyst a broker bought our desk lunch and bobby vans sent real steak knives (made of wood and metal). People were going to throw them away and I thought that was wasteful given that they were real and I needed some knives and I was relatively poor, so i collected a bunch and took them home. That was almost 20 years ago and I still have them.

    I've never gotten any decent yield out of there...
