MONDAY, DECEMBER 14, 2009The Good Life
In honor of Frank Sinatra's birthday on December 12th, we thought we'd share one of our favorite stories at Morton's!
Everyone knows Frank Sinatra's way – The Good Life. Which is why Ol' Blue-Eyes and Morton's The Steakhouse are forever linked as the classic duet of style and sophistication.
Sinatra first walked into Morton's on a cold Friday evening in February 1978, just six weeks after the original State Street location opened in Chicago. With a celebrity of Sinatra's stature dining at Morton's, the phones started ringing off the hook and haven't stopped.
Morton's is Sinatra-style dining. Succulent prime-aged steak. Award-winning fine wines. Ocean-fresh seafood. And swingin' cocktails. His way.
MONDAY, DECEMBER 7, 2009Morton's Hosts Long Island Social Media Event
The IABC Long Island Chapter hosted a November business luncheon at Morton's The Steakhouse in Great Neck, and featured dynamic speaker Juliette Powell, social media guru and author of 33 Million People in the Room, How to Create, Influence and Run a Successful Business with Social Networking.
Juliette is co-founder of The Gathering Think Tank Inc. which provides a forum for innovation, research and development. So, going into this presentation the audience wonders, Social Networking experts? Is anyone really an expert in this new medium? Well, Juliette certainly knows her way around social networking and how to create business success with it. She really talked about social networking as adding value to each others' lives. She introduced some excellent case studies, including one from UCLA that focuses on the Center of the Universe Theory, with Social Capital and Cultural Capital playing pivotal roles in developing a key network of people engaging in the conversation.
The book's aforementioned name? It refers to 2 to the power of 2 equaling four, and two to the power of 25 equalling 33 million, so exponentially we can have an incredible amount of followers in our own social networks. A significant return on your investment means you only need to dedicate time and authentic-ness and a genuine contribution of your ideas and thoughts. How do you build a strong social network? Engage in topics you are genuinely passionate about, and maybe it's not your job. It could be an intense interest in cooking, or a sports team.
Juliette talked about experts such as Gary Vaynerchuk, who grew up learning about tasting wine without actually ever tasting it; instead he tasted the rocks and the dirt that the grapes grew in, and has since developed such a huge following. But Gary talks about sports, the New York Jets, as much as he does about wine. He now does a weekly video blog that has incredible social networking exposure, and he's recently signed a 10-book deal. So much more that Juliette brought to light for this audience, but it's really all about engaging in topics that interest you. She suggested each of us start a blog on such a topic. Social networking is really all about a pull of information rather than a push of information.
RECIPES FOR FEEDING AMERICA: Morton's of Great Neck held a business luncheon for 35 communications professionals of Long Island, hosted by the International Association of Business Communicators, Long Island chapter, on November 17th. Each of the guests brought canned food and individually packaged cereals, as did the employees of Great Neck Morton's. All items will be donated to our local food bank, Long Island Cares, Inc., who are aligned with Morton's national charitable partner, Feeding America. Morton's has raised over $140,000 to date for local food banks across the US in conjunction with Feeding America.
