Regarding the Internet rumors, no member of Freeman's staff made any derogatory or discriminating comments towards Jenna or Barbara Bush. We are a non-partisan establishment and pride ourselves on having a diverse clientele. The Bush twins or any member of the first family are welcome to join us for dinner anytime.
I live in NYC and I believe this story 100000% NYC is the liberal sphincter hole of the east coast. How liberal is it? Look what the vermin elected as Senator. How liberal is it? After this city was attacked in `93 and 911, the inhabitants are still against defending it. How liberal is it? Al Sharpton is actually considered a leader. How liberal is it? Guess who won the majority of votes last Presidential election. How liberal is it? During the CLintoon impeachment me and my family were talking about what a nut Bill Clinton was when a patron sitting next to us stood up and knocked over all out drinks. How dare we offend his God. How liberal is it? Every second of every day they complain of high taxes and out of control spending, yet every election they vote for the worst tax and spend liberal Democrats in 50 out of 52 districts (Staten Island voted for Republicans, but that`s because it`s inhabitants are largely isolated from the liberal disease) How liberal is it? Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins live here. How liberal is it? Guliani was constantly protested the entire 8 years he cleaned up this city, which meant he was protested because we had a Mayor who did his job for once. How liberal is it? This is where the UN is. `Nuff said.
Does anyone know if this is true? (I'm not sure about the reliability of gawker.com)
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.

Nothing is wrong with you. But forgive me if I sometimes feel like fighting fire with fire. I'm gettign pretty feed up with all the attacks from the supposedly tolerant liberals.
I don't know the 21 story, please email it to me. Need to go off line for an extended period. 21 used to be one of my favorite places, because of its history and hamburgers.
Good luck getting in...the place has a very strict velvet rope...you got 1k on hand to tell the bouncers you'll be buying at least 2 bottles of Cristal?
This isn't a slam towards you at all but the velevet rope culture in many NYC places just pisses me off.
Sometimes you feel you've seen every inch of our tiny little island, but there's a hot new corner of Manhattan you probably never knew existed: Freeman Alley. Tucked away in a dark pocket off Rivington Street, the latest 'it' spot thrives, pulsing with downtown beauties and celebs - and the food isn't too bad, either. The hard-to-find locale resembles a dark hideaway you'd see in Berlin, Paris or Rome, but certainly not on the Lower East Side. The decor inside is noteworthy as well. Most talked- about restaurants that cater to a hip crowd are sleek and over-designed, but Freemans flaunts its scruffy side and tinges it with the delirious flavor of a Swiss chalet in the Alps.
We started with devils on horseback ($6), salty morsels stuffed with cheese, before moving on to the hearty wild boar terrine ($9) with roasted figs and cornichons. This hearty dish reminded me of south Tuscany fare, although everything is supposedly inspired by traditional Midwestern cuisine. Everything we ordered was scarfed down the moment it was presented, but the superb hot artichoke dip ($8) barely touched the table. The baked apple, onion and raisin stuffing that accompanied the pork loin ($14) threatened to overwhelm the taste of the perfectly cooked meat that was lean and tender, if a bit bland. A side of Yukon potato mash with truffle oil ($5) was one of the most delicious takes on mashed 'taters I've ever tasted, with a thick, smooth texture and a rich, subtle flavor that said "potato" instead of screaming "butter and cheese." Our apple brown betty ($6) dessert was unremarkable, but by then our second round of cosmopolitans had lifted our spirits.
The service at Freeman's is gracious, [barf] but beyond informal; the handsome and talkative waiter wore a T-shirt that said "F*&% Inner Beauty" and was very eager to make us feel at home - so much so that he forgot to bring silverware with my food. When I reminded him of the oversight while my friend was already halfway through his entree, the young man slapped his head and laughed it off, almost as if I should have just gotten it myself.
Prices are reasonable, especially given the hip quotient at Freemans, but don't go here just for the food. Take a few feisty friends and rub elbows with that big fashion designer's latest muse and that up-and-coming indie film star - you know, what's-his-name. If you're easily impressed by a quirky atmosphere and a downtown scenester dining beside you, this place is right up your alley. --Lapo Belmestieri

Dear Tenacious0,
Well, you asked. ;-)
sitetest
Very good.
"I was born Republican, and I'm guessing that the Bush twins were, too. Doesn't that count as ethnic origin?"
LOL.
yes, dan, they have fallen out of fashion. good analysis!
.
Now- I suppose you will say that even tho you are posting on a thread that you claim to have no concern about, and is a petty matter to you- that you have really big important things to do and you don't have enough time on your hands?
Interesting....
This sounds very urban legend-ish.
And we also enjoy our free speech rights to respond when "innocents" are offended.
I'm afraid that the restaurant in question is not going to pass sanitary inspection and that later it might even be busted for attempted bribery of an inspector.
just call and talk.. just talk. 1-212-420-0012. then call back and talk some more.
No. This really happened on Tuesday, Nov. 14th.
I wonder if this restaurant is familiar with the restaurant scene from 'The Blues Brothers'?
then let the owner post here to explain the story isnt true.
