Closing Dinner : The Wolfgang’s All Here A dynamic duo offers a proper lair By: Hilary LewisPremiere Issue , Page 28 Aside, perhaps, from Sydney and John Weinberg, it would be hard to name another father and son with as much experience feeding investment bankers as Wolfgang and Peter Zwiener. Wolfgang has waited on literally thousands of them, first for 40 years at Peter Luger Steak House in Brooklyn, more recently as co-owner with Peter (Zwiener, not Luger) of his eponymous aged-beef emporium in Midtown Manhattan. The younger Zwiener put in plenty of time on the other side of the check in his previous life as an M&A banker at Citigroup and Dresdner. Still, a truly great closing dinner calls for a private room. And as well-positioned as the Zwieners were to be New York’s go-to guys for that classic post-deal meal, they didn’t have a room. Now they do. For Wolfgang’s new second location in Tribeca, the Zwieners carved out a soundproof 400-square-foot brick and wood-paneled private chamber with a 36-inch plasma TV between two glass-enclosed wine racks. As if on cue, the day after opening, the restaurant hosted its first closing bacchanal, for 30 Citigroup bankers whose offices are just across Greenwich Street. “At a closing dinner, you want the best food you can possibly have,” Peter Zwiener says. “So you have the best steaks and the best wine out there. But nothing too fancy.”
