Lady Gaga's halloween costume may not be selling as well as the Jersey Shore get-ups, but Old Homestead Steakhouse in the Meatpacking District just changed the game. The proprietor at the restaurant, Marc Sherry, told the Daily News that Gaga's VMA meat dress was "very tacky," and he's created a new one which one "lucky lady" can procure for just $100,000.

Economy Takes Its Toll On City's Overpriced Burgers
The gourmet burger trend has come full swing in the city, peaking with that $175 burger at Wall Street Burger Shoppe a few years back, and possibly ending with a return to no-frills burgers at Shake Shack. The Post took a look at one victim in the burger boom-and-bust, Old Homestead Steakhouse, who were recently forced to reduce the price of their $41 Kobe beef burger to $19. That $81 burger seems nowhere to be found.
Waiters Cry Harassment After Tip Lawsuit
Restaurant workers seem increasingly ready to hit their employers with lawsuits over tips – Buddha Bar and Tao are two of the latest to have their Zen calm shattered. But owners are also fighting back even after they lose, as three waiters at the Old Homestead Steakhouse are finding out. After winning $36,000 in a lawsuit over ripped-off tips, they’re suing their bosses again for harassment. The main gripe is that they’ve been punished by getting assigned to tables with the worst tippers: Europeans. And on top of all that, the $81 hamburger’s been taken off the menu!
