When you’re hankering for an honest-to-goodness great steak, head to the Peter Luger Steak House in Brooklyn, a landmark restaurant that has been serving mouthwatering Porterhouse slabs since 1887. Fresh sides of Midwest beef are hand-selected – only passing the test to ensure they’re the proper pink with the just the right marbling of fat – then dry-aged, and finally brought into the restaurant’s kitchen to be broiled. What arrives at your table may well be the best steak you’ve every eaten. New Yorkers certainly seem to think so – they’ve voted the steaks here the best in New York for 20 years in a row. Carving into a manly steak calls for a classic gentlemen’s club ambience, and Peter Luger’s glossy wood paneling and sturdy tables fit the bill. Top off your dinner in style – pull up to the long bar and have yourself a stiff scotch or whiskey.
