Best Steakhouses in NYC

Best Steakhouses in NYC

Dry-aged porterhouses, classic New York steakhouses, and the modern chophouses worth a splurge.

  1. Flatiron · $$$$

    Korean steakhouse with a Michelin star. The Butcher's Feast is the move — four cuts grilled at your table with banchan.

  2. Midtown · $$$$

    A 130-year-old chophouse with 90,000 churchwarden pipes on the ceiling. Get the legendary mutton chop.

  3. Williamsburg · $$$

    The affordable neighborhood chophouse — hanger steak with drawn butter, no attitude. Walk-in only.

  4. Midtown East · $$$$

    The Seagram Building's landmark Mies dining room. Tableside preparations, dry-aged prime rib, a room preserved as a national treasure.

  5. Murray Hill · $$$$

    Old Peter Luger head waiter's spin-off in the tiled Vanderbilt Hotel dining room. Dry-aged porterhouse rivals the Brooklyn original.

  6. Midtown · $$$$

    A modern-butcher-shop-inspired dining room a block from Central Park. The corn crème brûlée side is a cult favorite.

  7. Williamsburg · $$$$

    The 1887 institution. Order the porterhouse for two, thick-cut bacon, creamed spinach. Bring cash or a Peter Luger card.

  8. Midtown East · $$$$

    The green-and-white Midtown institution. Expense-account energy and a great split-level bar for solo eating.

  9. Columbus Circle · $$$$

    Michael Lomonaco's fourth-floor room with skyline views over Central Park and one of the best New York strips in the city.

  10. Theater District · $$$$

    Since 1927. Dry-aging room visible from the sidewalk, pre-theater menu that actually respects the 8 p.m. curtain.
