The best steakhouse in the world (probably).
Other great restaurants that come to mind are Quality Meats, Peter Luger (Brooklyn), Gotham Bar & Grill, Gramercy Tavern, Eleven Madison Park, Jean Georges, Babbo, Momofuku Ssam Bar, Lobster Joint (Brooklyn), Patsy's Pizza (Harlem)... I mean, it's arguably the culinary capital of the world so the options are fucking endless.
The architecture is sick too, so much variation.
St. Patrick's Cathedral (1879) [Gothic Revival]
Brooklyn Bridge (1883) [Neo-Gothic]
Flatiron Building (1902) [Renaissance Revival]
Woolworth Building (1913) [Neo-Gothic]
Chrysler Building (1930) [Art Deco]
Across from Grand Central Terminal (1913) [Beaux Arts]
Empire State Building (1931) [Art Deco]
One World Trade Center (2014) [Contemporary Modern]
Most of my affluent New York friends always swore by Peter Luger's. I never made the trip. I went to a couple of the other really big one, and they weren't that special.
You watch the Michelin-type channels and the best steakhouse always gets put in NYC. You watch the the meat culture channels, and they always point to Kansas City. I trust the meat channels.
