  Walnut Street Supper Club is opening soon, and Meal Ticket is looking forward to it:

  “This Wednesday, Dec. 28, Ralph Berarducci and Midtown Village Association founder James McManaman will unveil what’s been going in on the other side of all that window paper — Walnut Street Supper Club, a Stork Club-esque venue that will mix Portofino’s housemade pastas and Italian specialties with old-school classics from a bygone restaurant era (think ritzy, jacket-required steakhouse). The food and drink at the 175-seater will be complemented by live music overseen by musical director Jeremiah Downes. (The waitstaff will be among the performers, a la Victor Café.) The Supper club will be open nightly from 5 p.m.”

  “Colin & I’ll be offering a straight dealer’s choice menu, which is to say that within some simple parameters you, the celebrant, present us, we’ll be drawing on our sizable repertoire of recipes to whip up some surprises. In short, there’ll be plenty to imbibe, loosely reined-in pandemonium, & lots of nervous laughter. The makings, in other words, of a memorable evening…,” says Guest Bartender Nick Jarrett [Bushwick Country Club, Dram, Clover Club and formerly of The Franklin].
