I remember a number of Spec Party dinners in Delmonico's, and I had a very educational conversation with then-81-year-old Yale Hirsch at one of them.

America’s Original Steakhouse Is Expanding - After Nearly 200 Years

When Delmonico’s first opened around the corner from Wall Street in 1837, it coincided with a financial panic, bank failures and the popping of a real-estate bubble. But the steakhouse survived. And in the coming years, it would serve famous customers such as Abraham Lincoln and Mark Twain.

Now, nearly two centuries later, the restaurant that calls itself the first fine-dining spot in the U.S. is poised to open its second outpost in Midtown Manhattan next year.

Jeffrey Hirsch responds:

Thanks for the memory Steve!
