I live in Dallas, they invented cow here. I guess I'm just a bit spoiled. I have eaten at all but two on your list there and they were all good, but not spectacular. NYC just isn't the place for steak... |

Definitely get the week long pass. You gotta pay each time you transfer to a different metro and it all adds up especially if you plan on going back and forth (uptown and downtown). Just walk down the stairs to any metro entrance and pay at the ticket machine and you're good to go. Note: you also don't need to worry about extra money left over on the card if you were to buy passes individually.
And if your plane going back home is at JFK airport, cool thing is you can actually take the metro straight into JFK! If you've got an hour and a half to spare and don't mind sitting in the metro with your luggage, it saves so much money compared to taking a cab which could bill up to $40 depending on where you're at. When I did that, there were atleast 5 other people sitting in the same cart with luggage of their own so I didn't feel so stupid lol. But then again since you're going with more people it may be a better choice to use a cab? Eh. |

I go every year for work and the 2 places I go to eat every time is the food cart next to the hilton on I believe 6th and 52nd. For some reason that cart is dif form all the other ones and around 9 the line is 75 people deep but there is a reason bc everything they give you is insanely good. And next I always go to mickey mantles, best mashed potatoes ever. Its at the end of 6th where it runs into central park, can't remember the cross street number. I actually leave a week from today.

Secondly, there is plenty of beef raised in the East eating nice sweet green grass and not the dried up straw in drought plagued ranches that Tx is known for. Thirdly, Delmonico, Porterhouse, New York Strip. These are all cuts of steaks named after NYC. You can try to convince youself that Tx is Gods gift to the cow but the worlds culinary experts know otherwise. Bon Appetit. |

If you like that kind of food, check out Mamoun's in west village or st. Marks sq. I prefer the shawarmas over the unbelievably greasy chicken and rice plates. Other good places to eat/drink: 1.) johns pizzeria, at bleeker and 7th ave 2.) mono+mono in west village - Korean fried chicken and delicious soju 3.) boat basin on west side highway and 79 th st. Great views and cool location 4.) Frying pan - old ship converted into a bar by Chelsea piers 5.) hurricane club - Murray hill - great food and drinks, amazing eye candy 6.) grimaldis - in Brooklyn close to the bridge. Astronomically long line but some of the best pizza and cheesecakes in the city I can go on and on (and on and on). Have fun! |

did anyone mention the Highline?
It is a beautiful raised park http://www.thehighline.org/ Rare bar for an amazing view and a drink http://www.rarebarandgrill.com/ (Also pretty yummy burger and fries downstairs Bisous Ciao - http://www.bisousciao.com/ for macaroons for the gf or wife If you come down here lmk I am close by so will take you for a beer You guys covered pretty much everything...and I am not getting involved with the Steak house wars... its like choosing women everyone has their own tastes. I personally have been to 80 of 220 steak houses in NYC (150 of which are legitimate ones) and although my best recco for a tourist would be Lugers, I still return to Sparks, Dylan's Prime or Capital Grill for different reasons. Enjoy the city at a nice pace...dont jam pack it, there will be plenty of other trips so dont ruin the trip with rushing all over the island and outside boroughs.

fyi all the stands around them are their stands also so no need to line up on that one line. But to me the food isn't what it used to be. The meat is pretty much ground up now before it used to be eatable chunks of meat. There are much better halal stands than the one on 53 and 6th just have to get out of the city to get the taste.

I live just north of Chicago, and I've had steak in all the places you mention. (I also implore you to check out a few places in Wisconsin...) S&W both in Chicago and NY has always served me a consistently excellent meal. Almost everyone I talk to agrees, and there is definitely a "fuck NY steakhouses" sentiment with Chicago steak-eaters. NY can do steak just as well as Chicago, or Dallas. I've sampled many of the more "European" flavored offerings NY has to offer, and while I can definitely appreciate most of them, writing off their steak because there's a really good bistro a block over isn't really gonna cut it when your in the mood for a steak. So perhaps you had a bad meal there, or really just don't care for it. It's your opinion, though if you're seriously likening it to eating at an IHOP, you've either never been to one, or your compass is a little off... Steak is something men will argue over to the death, but in the end, it's not hard to find a very good steak no matter where you are. The "big name" steakhouses got that way from serving a good fuckin steak, and while is seems some of them are coasting on their reputation (cough Sullivan's cough), I've never gotten that impression from S&W. When I'm paying $60-80 or so for a steak I find really good, I don't get much additional value from paying much more for one that's supposedly marginally better, or need to wait an hour and a half to be seated, or bring a g with me... |
