The fabled 21 Club has been in business for over 83 years, but there's nothing slowing it down. Opened originally as a speakeasy, this NYC institution has wined and dined everyone from movie stars and moguls to moneyed city folk. From its lantern-holding jockeys and townhouse exterior to its leather and wood-paneled dining room that feels like a step back in time, 21 Club is a classic through and through. The menu is a perfect accompaniment to the setting with choices like seared foie gras tinged with mango chutney and spread atop toasted brioche; or a splendid and classic rendition of steak tartare paired with a green salad. Upstairs and in the back, the feel is formal—so for a casual bite with prettier prices, head off the main entrance to Bar 21.
