Hands down, the BEST STEAK anywhere, Peter Luger borders on a carnivorous religion. Having been to most of the steakhouses in and around NYC (and elsewhere), I feel confident in saying that Peter Luger is the best of the bunch. All of the distractions that you find at other steakhouses - numerous cuts, large menus, fancy decor - are set aside in order to focus on the ultimate steak dinner. Go with somone who's been there before so you don't have to ask for a menu (which is Luger blasphemy). And if you can't tell the difference between this and an Arthur's steak, then I am truly sorry for you - I suggest a taste bud transplant or eating all future meals at the nearest McDonald's, because there is no comparison.
Pros: Best Steak anywhere, Period
Cons: Book far in advance
