Brother in town for the weekend -Fun Ideas/Restaurants?

Well nothing mexican because he's from Latin America (Ecuador? El Salvador? Damn I can't remember!) so he's used to really good latin food.

I like the idea of heading over to vanderbuilt. He really liked Beast for brunch last time. Weather Up is very pretty too.

Where a good place for steak or meaty-things and maybe some music or a good jukebox?

Has anyone been to Alchemy for brunch? Are they still doing that?

So here's how it worked out:

Bro and I with Papi Chulo hit up a ton of places and had a great time. Here's what's worth reporting.

Had brunch at Alchemy on Sat. It was surprisingly great! I loved it.
Had this corned beef eggs benedict dish: potatoes, strips of corned beef with the egg and hollandaise on top. It was juicy, flavorful and perfect with the beer. Bro had the salmon egg benedict, also terrific and Papi had the Guinness pancakes with calamelized pecans and fresh berries and fruit on top. This was the best! I was picking off his plate the whole time. I NEED to go back and get this again.

We had dinner at Beast on Sat... divine as always. The mussels, skirt steak and the duck there is just wonderfull. I love the skirt steak! So tender and the fritters that comes with it is perfect to sop up the creamy chipotle dressing.

We also ate at Gehnet on 4th ave the new Ethiopian place. I was in heaven the tuna tartar appetizer was so good and just completely new for me. It came rolled up like a wrap and was spicy and rich with flavor. Really hard to describe. The lamb was wonderfully browned with onions and came alive with a squirt of lime. This was my favorite. I have no idea what else I was eating. My brother ordered. But it was all great and we just dug in to this massive bowl of sides and courses and made a gluttons of our selfs and with a great red wine to wash it down.

Of course we hit tons of bars and went to the city and ate at random places there too. Thanks for all your advice everyone!! He had a great time.
