You can! Provided you pay up– Bloomberg is auctioning off dinner with your choice of anchor in addition to a highly coveted “tour of the studio” (they’ll probably also let you ride their curved escalator while proffering the little factoid that it’s only one of four curved escalators in the world, if you play your cards right). Bidding ends at 1:30 today and is so far up to $225, with the “estimated value” placed at $1,250, which must mean you’re either eating Stephen Schwarzman-endorsed $400 crab claws or something huge happens after dessert (like you and Brennan go out and buy a hooker together).

    Dealbreaker community: I am now the leading bidder. I plead with you not to surpass my bid. If I win, I am going to guest-blog about the experience. This is the opportunity of a lifetime.

    p.s. THANK YOU Bess for alerting me to this auction. Fantastic

    O/U on how many anchors people could actually name on BBerg TV? I’d set the line at 2.5

    Ms. Brennan: I’m thinking Dorsia, wear something fabulous.

    @7 Matt Miller is a pretty cool guy.

    @10, The reviews for this Dorsia place (which i have NEVER heard of and have lived in the city since college) seem kind of odd. I don’t get why everyone mentions it as “cool” or whatever.

    Bess, how have you not yet blogged about bloomberg.com’s new website layout / coloring?????

  16. Posted by Anonymous | June 22, 2010 at 12:23 PM

    @15, I don’t get it. You use the website? What’s wrong with the terminal on your desk?

  17. Posted by Anonymous | June 22, 2010 at 12:30 PM

    @16 check your assumptions

  18. Posted by Anonymous | June 22, 2010 at 12:37 PM

    Bess, I want to have dinner with you. What’s the estimated value of that everyone?

  19. Posted by Anonymous | June 22, 2010 at 12:39 PM

    @12, that wasn’t serious right?

  20. Posted by Anonymous | June 22, 2010 at 12:45 PM

    how much for the handy under the table after my appetizer? I can’t concentrate on my entree if I’m holding too much tension between the legs.

    @ 19, Whatever, just cause I havent heard of an “in” place doesn’t mean one should be snooty. -12

    @12/21- Try Espace, in soho. Some say that soho is becoming too commercialized, but i think we have more important problems to worry about.

  24. Posted by Mr. Market | June 22, 2010 at 1:30 PM

    The bidding has surpassed what I am willing to pay. Congrats to Edmond Dantes

    @15 because it’s atrocious and I’m still hoping it’s just a nightmare I’ll soon wake up from.

  26. Posted by Anonymous | June 22, 2010 at 2:02 PM

    @23 I’m on the verge of tears every time we arrive at Espace, since I’m positive we won’t have a decent table. But we do, and relief washes over me in an awesome wave.

    Use http://noir.bloomberg.com

    But, yeah, the new design looks like shit… whichever dick told them orange, white, and gray were a good color scheme should be shot. Fucking contrast, people.

    I’m going to take Margaret Brennan out to a nice seafood dinner and then never call her again.

    is Bloomberg that desperate for cash?

  36. Posted by Anonymous | June 22, 2010 at 3:33 PM

    @28/EPD – Thanks for that lifesaving link. Let me know when you’re free for a reward in the form of a handy

  37. Posted by manbearpig | June 22, 2010 at 3:34 PM

    @12 Yeah, forget the Bloomberg babes. I wanna go to Dorsia with Bess.

    By the way, where did the insinuative and less modest picture of Ms. Brennan go? I feel duped.

  38. Posted by Mr. Market | June 22, 2010 at 3:35 PM

    @35 this is for charity, broseph, i.e. doing good for the human race. Everyone who works in finance and/or reads Dealbreaker should do their best to contribute. Bloomberg obviously doesn’t need cash, our terminals cost more than your entire salary

  45. Posted by AREYOUSERIOUS | July 11, 2010 at 5:04 AM

    Commentators, a little disappointed you’re not discussing how ridiculous it is that Bess took down the picture of Margaret as a little hermaphrodite before they tried to make her a woman. Did she cry bess and say wah wah like an inexperienced newscaster because someone said something mean about her. I didn’t know you just let the subjects you write about dictate how the articles you write look and some whiny brat can stomp her feet like paris hilton and get a get out of jail free card. PATHETIC and should not be dropped, conversation renewed now that dealbreaker let the boy in the red dress tell them how to do their job and for listening to it.

  46. Posted by Billy D | April 14, 2011 at 1:41 PM

    Yes I would love to dinner with Margaret, but do I need that much money?
