Eric and Donald Trump Jr. Dine Everywhere From McDonald's to Dubai

As partners in their father’s business, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. do a lot of dining together — whether they’re talking to clients Stateside about Quattro, their upcoming restaurant in the Trump Soho building or cutting ribbons in the Middle East as they did this week. Don — or Donnie, as his younger brother calls him — prefers to eat downtown at places like BondSt and Woo Lae Oak, but that doesn’t mean he’s above stopping into McDonald’s for a sausage, egg, and cheese. “We’ve been brought up to have both kinds of taste: My father’s an all-American eater — burgers, fries, pizza — and my mother is more of a sophisticated, European eater.” Aside from a dinner at Raoul’s, Trump Jr. didn’t see much of New York this week owing to a trip to Greece, so we asked Eric to tell us what he ate.

Sake has been the next big trend for so long that we’ve been loathe to recognize it now that it’s actually arriving. If, like us, you're utterly mystified by the stuff (not being able to read the bottle is part of it), check out the Joy of Sake next week. The city's biggest sake event will hit the Puck Building on Thursday featuring 300 different sakes, at least a third of which aren't available outside of Japan. The restaurant lineup looks good too: Seventeen restaurants are creating dishes meant to be paired with sake, including wd-50, Sakagura, and 15 East. Tickets are $75 in advance, $90 at the door.

Hungry Theatergoer: Please, Good Sir, How Do I Avoid Tourists?

Dear Grub Street: Why do you insist on reducing everything to visual clichés?Illustration by Jason Lee

You've got questions, we've got Internet access and fairly good research skills. Send your food and restaurant queries to Grub Street.

Grub Street,

I'm taking my mom & sister to a Broadway show on a Friday night next month. We'd like to have dinner first, but I'm frightened of the tourist-driven restaurants in the theater district. Where do you recommend for a great meal and atmosphere that allows for conversation and that will be convenient to Broadway?

Joanna Harp,
West Village
