          used at Frank’s Steaks or at its predecessor, The Peculiar                  
          Penguin.                                                                    
               Petitioner presented two stubs to substantiate two meals at            
          Montauk Yacht Club.  Montauk is at the easternmost end of Long              
          Island, more than 80 miles east of Syosset.  One stub shows                 
          $219.35 for dinner on July 29; the other shows $211 for dinner on           
          September 1.  Both stubs are imprinted with the name of the                 
          restaurant.  Both stubs have the serial no. 05284 imprinted on              
          them.  One stub is light paper, with the serial number in red;              
          the other is heavy paper, with the serial number in dark gray.              
          It is evident that the two stubs were parts of separate copies of           
          a single bill, and not stubs for two separate bills almost 5                
          weeks apart (July 29 and Sept. 1).                                          
               Petitioner’s diary shows that on Friday, June 26, 1987, he             
          took three people to dinner at Smith & Wollensky, at a cost of              
          $212.75.  Petitioner’s diary does not show any other meals for              
          that day.  Petitioner presented two stubs to substantiate meals             
          on June 26, each in the amount of $212.75.  One stub is imprinted           
          with the name of the restaurant, Smith & Wollensky.  The other              
          stub does not have any name imprinted on it.  The date and amount           
          were hand-written on both stubs.  That June 26 dinner is the only           
          meal shown in the entire diary as costing $212.75.                          
               Petitioner’s diary shows that on Tuesday, July 7, 1987, he             
          took three people to dinner at Gian-Lorenzo Ristorante, at a cost           
          of $193.50.  Petitioner’s diary does not show any other meals for
