Lunch at The Plaza

It's time to check out the newly remodeled Plaza in Manhattan. Which group would you rather join for 1 o'clock luncheon:
Carmella and Tony (The Sopranos)
Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte (Sex and The City)
Betty and Don Draper and the Roger Sterlings (Mad Men)

Tony and Carmela? I'm so over them.

Sex and the City girls? Never were into them.

Get rid of Betty and the Sterlings, now you're talking!

I'm soooo with you SoFlaKate!! A private dining roon with Don...

user-pic

I still think I'm a SITC gal at heart...I'm really a modern gal who looks back fondly on my youth and memories of my parents drinking, smoking and eating red meat.

But SITC is Mad Men for women like to drink (smoke in the early days of the series), have sex and dress fabulously, but do it while in control of their own lives!

user-pic

I am with SoFla Kate... even if I do have to take a number.

60'schild, please eat fast...I'm next in line for The Don...

I love MM, but if this were real life, I think the Sterlings ( and maybe even the Drapers ) would bore me to death. I mean, view them as simply dinner guests, without knowing anything about their lives or secrets. It would all be "shop talk", "mom talk", cigarettes and drinks. You wouldn't see past the veneer.

I never cared for SITC. So, as far as having an entertaining dining experience, I think I'll go with Tony and Carmela. Besides, everytime I watched The Sopranos, no matter how violent it got or who got "whacked", I was dying for Italian food by the time the show was over.

user-pic

I am cracking up at the answers!

MicheleKay, I know what you mean about the Sopranos and Italian food. I just hope MM doesn't leave us craving cigs. and booze!

user-pic

I have to admit, when I was single, I secretly wanted to go out to dinner with Tony Soprano (without Carmela), Not because I thought he was hot, but I thought we'd have a such a good dinner, we'd drink wine, eat dessert, have anisette and have a grand old time...

user-pic

Here's my list of dinner guests:
Don, Ken and Roger.
Menu Items:
Pitchers of Martinis, Dozens of oysters and the 16 oz. New York Strip with all the fixins'
Top it off with everyone enjoying a fun-filled night in the hot tub!!
WOW!!!

Um, lets just do lunch with all the main characters from Mad Men, The Sopranos and Sex and The City. And let's be sure to include MM's Pete too! Tony Soprano would probably take an instant dislike to Pete and shove his head into the dessert cart. How amusing! Meanwhile, SATC's Samantha would be all over Don- they do have 2 thngs in common: advertising and sex. Carmela Soprano could give Betty Draper tips on being less of an ice princess and Carrie Bradshaw could start a much needed make over of dowdy Peggy.

scfan, caprice, drink&smoke,SK,BC,MK,60's:
Let me call Michael Kors and arrange a jet to pick us all up and have lunch with all the characters in Sex,Sopranos, and MM!

user-pic

Nora, that dang Michael Kors! He sure likes to leave us all hanging! So unbelievably gauche to not have had his people get with your people by now!!!! LOL (new posters won't know WTH we're talking about...)

user-pic


caprice - lmao!!

someone should write that scene and really flesh it out. it would be a riot.

at least "carrie" would get to smoke all she wanted (so long as aiden weren't there).

user-pic

Lunch at the new Plaza (been there already and it's not the same, chairs too high and can't move them in Palm Court-champagne bar sticking out right in the main lobby-this would never be tolerable on MM!). But w/out question, Don Draper alone 4 lunch. That scene of him telling Mrs. Barrert to have Jimmy apologize, while pulling her hair and dress, has launched him into super-sexy-stardom for me! He may appear to be a bore at times, but we all know that he's not! Meet u there at 1, Don!

user-pic

No contest!! A long lunch w/ Don Draper at the Plaza. Then hopefully followed by an intimate dessert in one of the penthouse rooms/apts.

user-pic

The rooms are really nice, Tracy. Good thought, can I have him first?!...lol

user-pic

Yes, a lunch date alone with Don!! That tall, dark and handsome man along with that deep voice -
"he had me at hello".

user-pic

Since all the time slots seem to be filling up, may I reserve Don for the midnight snack? Just don't get him too drunk (remember what happened in this season's first episode)!

Caprice, I love your comments. Carrie Bradshaw would do quite the makeover number on Peggy - although it appears Bobbie is having a hand in that, too.

user-pic

Sorry Stephanie, I'd love to oblige, but I want Don Draper fresh and ready to go. I'm sure you can understand ;)

And yes luvmadmen, that tall, dark, and handsome man w/ the deep voice curls my toes too!!

I'm so digging Jon Hamm as an actor. I fell for him in Providence and I'm so happy to have found him again in Mad Men.

I've been adding to my Netflix movie list w/ other shows he's appeared in, just to catch up. Just getting into his appearances on The Unit. The stubble and specs...OMG. The camera just loves him!

default userpic

I must be the only red blooded female that does not want to sleep with Don Draper. He is just too sleazy for me--cheater extraordinaire. I would like to help me see his wicked ways and have a happy, fulfilled marriage with Betty. I do think she loves him and would try and help him if she knew his true family background.
So, my preferred dinner guests would be Tony and Carm!!! The things I would ask them..Like, what is up with that ending?????

user-pic

No worries Italian Girl...more for us who are horny for the Draper Man. ;)

user-pic

Ok Tracy, u found him 1st!lol This is my 1st encounter w/Hamm. He reminds me totally of DeNiro! Has that been said on here already? Glad we can all enjoy him!
