Other than its impossible reservation (no matter how many months you call in advance, the only available time slots for dinner on a Saturday are always 4:45 or 9:45), Peter Luger is worth the drive over to Brooklyn. Your best bet is to just show up without making a reservation though it is not recommended if you have a party of 5 or more people.
Pros: food, bread
Cons: rush service, impossible reservatio, location
