Beefsteaks, aka all-you-can-stomach-meat-and-ale parties, were occasions for fat cats like Boss Tweed to secure male blue-collar votes for a mountain of tenderloin — veritable "sausage" fests. Everyone is welcome this afternoon (the more the merrier, with discounts for groups of four-plus) as the Bell House is a perfect, retro-flavored spot to consume gallons of McSorley's and heaps of organic meat using your hands. Back in the day, a moderate gulp-and-chug meal was "six pounds of meat and thirty glasses of beer," so bring an appetite.
