I gotta check out Prime 112 next time I'm there.
I think the Smith & Wollensky down the street has better steak and better views. Prime 112 is better for spotting celebrities, though.

“Following his year at Pace, Williams participated in the Dade-Broward All-Star Game, an event for high schoolers without remaining eligibility.
As a freshman, Williams had been involved in a car accident that caused him to skip the entire season (he was struck by a vehicle while crossing the street, spent one month in the hospital and missed 90 days of school), but Florida High School Athletic Association rules did not allow for any sort of redshirting of players.
However, at the end of the year, Williams transferred to nearby Carol City High with the hopes that Jeff Paris, the school’s athletic director, would find a way to make him eligible.
It was his sixth high school in five years. “When I met Willie, I knew he had a strong case,” Paris told the Herald at the time. “This was a kid that got hit by a car in the face during his freshman year of high school. He deserves a shot at playing four years of high school ball.
After a lengthy hearing, the FHSAA (to the shock of many) agreed, and Williams was allowed to take the field for Carol City, the state’s top-ranked team in Class 6A.
In Miami, the news was covered—but not heavily covered. Navarro penned a story that appeared on Page 11D of the Sept. 13, 2003, Herald, headlined "Chiefs' Williams Ruled Eligible.''
I was wrong about the rule change but he was older than everyone.
Yea one of the 6 schools was Baypoint like i said. It really didnt matter though if he was older. When i first met Willie he was in the 10th grade and about 6'3 210-220 then. He was doing the same things he did his sr year then. **** he actually had a STEP UP in talent transferring to Carol City.
