Half of the guide is devoted to business-class dining, with profiles and menu suggestions for each of 5 recommended restaurants in 15 of the nation's most visited cities. Restaurants were selected for their outstanding food, service, atmosphere, and healthy, South Beach-friendly menu. The guide lists business-class restaurants in Atlanta; Boston; Chicago; Cleveland; Dallas; Kansas City; LasVegas; Los Angeles; Miami; Minneapolis; NewYork; Orlando; St. Louis; San Francisco; and Washington, DC.
Jack's Place is named after owner Harris Rosen's father who during his 30-year tenure at the Waldorf Astoria sketched over 100,000 warm and humorous caricatures of visiting celebrities and VIPs, including Jackie Kennedy, Hank Aaron, Indira Ghandi and Henry Kissinger, to name a few. The restaurant, named a top restaurant in the state by Florida Trend magazine last month, recently remodeled its dining room to include new chandeliers, new carpeting, new chairs and booths and new archways. While the look may have changed, the restaurant continues to be adorned with a selection from the impressive collection of caricatures.
