This steakhouse is a New York City landmark and former speakeasy, and remains decorated as it was the day it opened in November 1927, with plain-planked floors, red-checked tablecloths and dark woodpaneled walls covered in old photos. Specializing in dry-aged beef, the kitchen stays true to simple American fare.
