Phone 212 245 5336
In my opinion this is one of the finest steak houses I have ever dined in. Founded in 1927 by Helen Gallagher, it is the genuine article in a sea of second rate steakhouse chains. The meat, all USDA prime, hangs in a chilled glass cabinet visible in the entrance lobby, should you prefer a lobster then select a live one from the tank. No visit to New York is complete without visiting this most excellent eatery. Go for it!
