(For an excellent article on Peter Luger’s process, check out this article on Eater.com.) As you’d guess, this meal is going to be expensive — expect to spend at least $100 per person (cash only!) for a full steak dinner with all the fixings. The place is always booming, so a reservation is highly recommended, and usually reservations have to be made weeks in advance. (more…)

Bark serves beef and pork franks (all-beef available on request) that are made to order in upstate New York. They’re spicy, snappy, and you can order them with all manner of toppings from sauerkraut to chili cheese. Make sure to get an order, or two, of cheddar fries on the side. (more…)
