What started for the fomer waiter of the esteemed Peter Luger has evolved into now five locations going strong—a decision that has yielded mouthwatering results. Located in the former Vanderbilt Hotel dining room, this 1912 landmark space is dressed with elegant tables and showcases a gorgeous terra-cotta ceiling courtesy of famed architect, Rafael Guastavino. The setting is handsome, but the steak's arrival refocuses all attention on the strapping Porterhouse (for two, three, or four) served sizzling and paired with fried onion rings; sautéed mushrooms; and German potatoes...extra crispy please! If you really want something to knaw on before the meat makes its way, order a perfect martini and slice by slice of Canadian bacon—you're not here for a diet.
