Although there are many steakhouses in New York, almost none can rival Peter Luger, a steakhouse that has been in operation for over a century. They only use USDA prime beef, selecting each piece based on color, marbling, and bone. It is almost always fully booked, so if you want to taste this legendary flavor, it is best to make a reservation a few weeks or even months in advance. If friends are visiting New York, it is highly recommended to try this Michelin one-star steakhouse. Oh! Note: They only accept cash and debit cards.
Keens Steakhouse
With a history of 130 years, Keens Steakhouse originally served as a place for political and business elites to temporarily store their pipes. Unexpectedly, starting from the pipe business, it has managed to perfect its steak offerings to this day. Legendary baseball player Babe Ruth, banker J.P. Morgan, and the 26th President of the United States Teddy Roosevelt were all regulars here. This restaurant is also one of the few steakhouses that can rival Peter Luger. Just by looking at the pipes hanging on the ceiling and walls, you can tell that this place prioritizes its customers and operates the steakhouse with the same spirit.
Located in the bustling meatpacking district, this steakhouse, which opened in 1868, successfully attracts those hip New Yorkers with its relaxed atmosphere. Despite the casual vibe, they take their cuisine seriously, earning praise even from the most discerning diners. Their Prime Rib is large, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The Filet Mignon Burger is another main course worth trying for meat lovers. Besides steaks, the seafood here, such as oysters, fried calamari, and pan-seared salmon, is also very fresh and delicious, highly recommended!
This spacious and bright restaurant is exquisitely decorated in every corner, originally designed by the renowned designer AvroKO. Quality Meats is known for presenting familiar dishes in creative ways. Their Filet Mignon and Bone-in Ribeye are must-orders for meat lovers. For those who are adventurous and willing to try raw beef, the steak tartare is a delicious appetizer. Additionally, there is Gnocchi and Cheese, which is similar to Mac and Cheese but uses soft gnocchi (Italian dumplings, pronounced 'nyo-kee') instead.
Porter House Bar and Grill
This steakhouse, established by Chef Michael Lomonaco at The Warner Center, features a rustic wooden interior and generous portions of steak. You can order a Porterhouse for Two, which, despite being a portion for two, is just right for three friends with smaller appetites to share. For a better dining atmosphere, you can request a window seat when making a reservation to enjoy views of Central Park and New York City while dining. Of course, steak should be paired with fine wine, and Porter House thoughtfully offers 500 types of wine for customers to choose from.
Sparks Steak House
Although Sparks is always crowded and waiting times of over an hour are not uncommon, it is worth it for a piece of their selected sirloin. Beef Scaloppine (boneless steak) and Steak Fromage (steak covered with blue cheese) are popular dishes here. In addition to steak, their lamb chops and lobster are also very tender and delicious. Finally, be sure to order their Chocolate Mousse Cake for a perfect ending.
