Ok.. who doesnt like steak?  No, I am not talking to you vegans and veggie heads.  I am talking pure USDA Prime meat!  Which now a days is harder to come by then you think.  If you are ever looking for a spot to eat in Brooklyn (or any place for that matter) then you might wanna stop by Peter Luger's Steakhouse. 


Peter Luger's Steakhouse, Brooklyn NY

This uber famous place has been serving the best steaks in NYC since 1887!  Zagat rates this place a 28 out of 30 and has ranked Peter Luger's as the number one steakhouse in NYC for 24 years in a row along with several other fantastic reviews.  You can even take a lil Peter Luger's home with you buy purchasing some of their original steak sauce which can be overnight FedEx to you anywhere in the United States.

This place is definitely one of the best places to come and get a great porterhouse steak.  They bring the steak over on a super hot plate and it come to the table sizzling of goodness.  Be careful and make sure you have some cash and or a ATM card with you because this place does not accept credit cards.  Also, if you don't have a RSVP, then plan on waiting up to an hour or even more on the busy nights.


Peter Luger's fantastic Zagat rating record

If venturing out to Brooklyn just to eat seems a lil much.  (the steak alone is enough reason to go out there!)  You can also make a lil day out of it by walking across the bridge during sun down.  Or even going by and checking out Takashi Murakami's exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum, beforehand.  If you do not have time for Brooklyn and you are still looking for a good steak in New York City.  My personal choice of steak house in the city is definitely Quality Meats.  Quality Meats is the new and more modern sister restaurant of Smith and Wollensky and is one of the Fourth Wall Restaurants.  The cool thing about Quality Meats is that they come over and make this fresh steak sauce right in front of you with a lil Salt and Pepper, Tomato Paste, Raisin Puree, Garlic, Rosemary and Thyme.  As you can tell, I have been there a couple of times.  Now I have to go Quality Meats and write about this place!  Well, at least it gives me an excuse to go there.....
