American Cut

Our 7 Favorite Steakhouses in NYC

"The menu doesn’t stray too far from the classics—American Cut plays into the name, offering the usual cuts you’ll see in any American steakhouse menu paired with a hip, laidback atmosphere. Expect to see New York strip, skirt steak, filet mignon, bone-in ribeye, and the ever-popular tomahawk, but the cuts that make your trip worthwhile is the porterhouse or the pastrami ribeye. The porterhouse has all the theatrics that you’d expect in New York with a flambéed tableside experience, while the pastrami ribeye is incredibly soft and is an elevated take on a iconic sandwich with a dollop of mustard included. Most of the menu is grilled and it’s not uncommon to see darker-hues on the plate, while the sides bring pops of color and really meld the vibrant flavors and overall look together. A must-have is the sunchocked spinach, it pairs well with a wide range of meat on the menu and its buttery and rich. It’ll make you excited to eat your vegetables. —Paris Wilson, commerce writer"
