At the end of the day
it's nice to feel grounded
by the finer things in life.

"Gravity Bor.& Grill
is a perfect 10 of a
restaurant: imaginative,

grounded new American

food that eschews

all
false steps; a serene
cherry. apricot and
robin's egg dining room

that fosters conversation

but

to

has just enough buzz
feel lively."

avid Steinberg is one of the
most successful and respect-
ed comedians of his gen-
eration. His politically tinged humor
earned him 130 appearances on the
Tonight Show with Johnny Carson
and dozens of guest-host spots on the
show, as well as visits from President
Nixon's fabled dirty tricks squad.
In the mid-1980s, with young chil-
dren at home, Steinberg grew tired
of life on the road and took up a new
career as a director. He soon became
equally famous for his work behind
the camera. He's directed most of
the top sitcoms, including Seinfeld,
Friends, Mad About You and, most
recently, Curb Your Enthusiasm. His
work has garnered him numerous
Directors Guild of America and Emmy
nominations and awards.
He's proved equally adept at direct-
ing commercials — more than 300 of
them — and has won two Clio Awards
and the prestigious Silver Lion at the
Cannes Film Festival.
He's also written a funny memoir,
The Story of David, which will be
published in June.

And he's moved in front of the cam-
era again with Sit Down Comedy
With David Steinberg. The show,
composed of lengthy (and invariably
hilarious) conversations between
Steinberg and his comedian guest
about whatever topic comes up, starts
its second season on TTLand 10 p.m.
Wednesday, Feb. 21.
As Steinberg, 64, tells it, Sit Down
is almost a direct outgrowth of a
request he made to Carson that was
denied — at first.
"The formula for talk shows is
that you meet with a talent coordina-
tor in the afternoon to discuss what
you want to talk about:' Steinberg
explained in a telephone interview.
"Based on that meeting, the talent
coordinator gives the host questions to
ask you. I never liked that.
"I remember when I was a guest
host [on Carson] — and I had guests
in those days like Louis Armstrong
and Cassius Clay — I'd listen to the
beginning and look to my notes to see
where the [guests were] going to end
so that I knew when to get them to the
next topic."
Steinberg felt that approach lacked
spontaneity. He asked Carson if, on
Steinberg's next appearance on the
