So apparently we were the last ones to know that Frank Bruni is gay (see "Mrs. Bruni" comment last week). But as we know from his one-star review today, that didn't stop him from taking in the sights while dining at Robert's Steakhouse in the Penthouse Executive Club.

With cameras in tow, Gothamist went to the Penthouse Executive Club to check out the 2005 Penthouse Pet of Year Party. With developments like the Executive Club, Hustler, and Scores West Side on the West Side, one wonders why there is any need for a West Side Stadium at all! Gothamist Interviewee and sex doctor, Victoria Zdrok, was the outgoing pet of the year, ceding the Martina Warren.

Management at the clubs say more couples are going to clubs together, since clubs are less likely to be dingy and scary, and that's true. On a recent visit to the Penthouse Executive Club (pictured), Gothamist and friends enjoyed some of the fabulous steak at Robert's, lapdances (or watching others get lapdances), bubbly, and other frivolity. But, of course, there was no sex in the champagne room.

Hell's Kitchen Online is a great West Side resource; their focus of late is the proposed Jets stadium.

Sure, the biting winter winds and now snow are a pain, but Gothamist was able to stand the chills of a refrigerated dry aging room, mainly because there were steaks in the same room (we really love meat). There's nothing like seeing what your beef looks like before it's cooked to perfection for you. We checked out the dry aged steaks at Robert's Steakhouse, the restaurant at the Penthouse Executive Club (yes, you read that right, the gentlemen's club or strip club), including the amazing dry aged Kobe steak. The room was filled with a rich, well, beefy, scent and Gothamist almost swooned, we were so happy. The meal, it goes without saying, was outstanding: Rib eye, Porterhouse, the dry aged Kobe...colossal shrimp cocktail, crab cake, Kobe beef carpaccio, Caesar salad, iceberg lettuce salad...bananas Foster, NY cheesecake, creme brulee. Jake says, "The dry aged Kobe was the best steak I have ever had - even better than Peter Luger's. And the next night I had the leftovers, and it was the second best steak I ever had."

Our favorite local BBQ mastermind, Adam Perry Lang of Daisy May's, is profiled today in the Times Dining section. Alex Witchel looks at his work not only at Daisy May's but also at Robert's Steakhouse, the delicious and well-received steak joint at the Penthouse Executive Club (read: club where executives are entertained by exotic dancers), perhaps the first meat market where you can eat meat, plus his culinary credentials gathered from NY (Daniel Boulud, Les Halles, Chaneterelle), Paris (Guy Savoy), and Santa Fe (for a little BBQ). We wonder if Frank Rich demanded to accompany Witchel to Robert's Steakhouse - he was the "Butcher of Broadway," you know.
