Peter Luger Steak House

A favorite of the mini-mogul set, Peter Luger Steak House has been serving the finest USDA Prime steaks since 1887. But you need not be a mogul to eat here; one of the biggest surprises is the chopped steak (a/k/a hamburger), possibly the very best in New York City, and served at lunch with the same flair and elan that the big eaters get with their massive aged steaks. Eating at Peter Luger really is a unique only-in-New-York experience, and its storied dining room and classic bar in the heart of Williamsburg should be experienced even by those who never leave Manhattan. After all, its convenient location as the first stop right off the Williamsburg Bridge makes it an easy taxi ride, and valet parking is available for those driving.
