A Shiksa parties at Sammy’s Roumanian
2008 October 26
Friday night I shared a celebratory dinner with friends at Lower East Side institution Sammy’s Roumanian Steak House. The video, below, from TurnHere, gives a good intro to the place.
I consumed a LOT of latkes and sausage and steak. Had a delicious chocolate egg cream and even tried the chopped liver, mixed up right at the table. And yes, I sampled the schmaltz. Gotta say, not a fan of the liquid chicken fat. Olive oil it is not.
The food was good, the vodka was great, the atmosphere was the best. Lots of dancing and singing to classic tunes played by Dani Luv, rocking out on the keyboard in the corner. Although I’ve never been to one, friends compared the scene during the more raucous Jewish hits to a Bar Mitzvah. Fun.
