Fork in the Road hears from Kurt Gutenbrunner that the beer program consists of Bitburger, Ayinger, and an East German dark beer, while the food, mostly sourced from Schaller & Weber, includes weisswurst, currywurst, cheddar sausages, bratwurst, sauerkraut, and the huge pretzels featured on Serious Eats. Meanwhile, 22 stories up, a source of Steve Lewis has this to say about the Boom Boom Room.

“Kamil Parchomienko will handle the room … Kamil used to live in Miami and LA … he’s worked for Andre for like 13 years. They want to do two seatings, 4–9 for small plates and 10–2/3 for late night. Super high-end Rainbow Room/Rose Bar/Windows on the World style $18–25 drinks and DP by the glass. They’re still working on the menu. They’ve got 4 managers, but no promoters. They’re going to rely heavily on Andre, the brand, and the space to keep it busy. $18–25 drinks will eventually wear people down, but the room is pretty nice.”

A promoter at a rival hot spot has told us he thinks those $25 drinks will be the death of the operation, but we’ll grant the Boom Boom Room this much — the view is better than over at the Eldridge.
