Worth the trip to BK for the best porterhouse steak in NYC.
Peter Luger is an institute and they know it; in a good way. It just vibes and the old time receptionist and waiters are just part of the experience. To be honest the porterhouse was not great, way too fat. Not su re what breed they used but there are much better steaks around. Nevertheless, lager and steak sauce were top notch so worth the visit!
Just may be the best steak I've ever eaten. Get a reservation, and order your steak "rare plus". The half-timber interior and the tables give it a great vibe.
Excelllent steak that is excellently cooked, great sides, generous drink portions, and the waiters are not as "gnarly" as the summary suggests. Pricey, of course, but after all this is NYC, and the portions are somewhere between massive and humongous. Steak sauce is top-knotch, and I usually don't much like steak sauce. So what does the decor matter?
