Harry's Bar (London)
Harry's Bar in 2022
- ... that the private dining club Harry's Bar in London's Mayfair would spend $80,000 a year on flowers? Source: ["Harry's Bar is about spending $80,000 per annum on flowers; it's about perfectionism. We wouldn't start doing catering or opening on weekends or turning tables to make ends meet. That completely goes against the ethos of what we do" https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2005/10/harrys-bar-london, Wild About Harry's, Vicky Ward, 12 October 2005, Vanity Fair]

Article content is good to go; new, more than long enough and well cited. I believe it needs a QPQ if I am reading the contribs properly. Maury Markowitz (talk) 14:52, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
QPQ complete, GTG. Maury Markowitz (talk) 11:08, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
@Maury Markowitz: I think that we can do better with the hook. How about these:
- ALT1... that London's exclusive private dining club Harry's Bar was described as resembling "the departure lounge for Concorde"?
- ALT2... that the Italian cooking at London's Harry's Bar was described as more "High Urban" than "Tuscan Farmhouse"?
- ALT3... that "it is almost impossible to find fault" with London's exclusive private dining club Harry's Bar until one receives the bill?
- ALT4... that London's exclusive private dining club Harry's Bar was described as the perfect place to "watch designer clothes in action"?
- ALT5... that the members of London's exclusive private dining club Harry's Bar were described as including "film stars of the old school, dandiacal plutocrats, Mayfair smoothies and the gastronomically earnest"? Philafrenzy (talk) 13:02, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
- ALT1 is fun, 4 as well. But the original isn't bad either. Maury Markowitz (talk) 13:53, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
