I went to Peter Luger last week with some friends from out of town and was INCREDIBLY dissapointed. From the loud, frat-boy atmosphere (and crowd), to the small, totally unsatisfying steak, it was overall an underwhelming experience. As far as the steak itself, it was, unlike some reviews would have you believe, nowhere near the best steak I've ever had. Not only is Peter Luger's not the best steakhouse in the country, it is not even the best steakhouse in New York. Go to Dylan Prime. You don't have to take the J train and you'll find a much classier atmosphere and a far superior steak.
Cons: Overhyped, Overpriced
