Many times before I have arranged for gift dinners all over NYC for friends and family simply by calling a given retaurant and providing my personal info & CC#. However I called pearl room for a week and call after call was hung up on or told fuggedaboutit, youz gotta come down hea and git da certificate in person. Right, a 2.5 hour drive to Bayridge so I can give a gift for friends who live three blocks from Pearl Room. To bad we will never know if the food was great, because the service... well you know.
