"A three-level steakhouse with a members-only cigar lounge, DJs, and a menu offering gold leaf-encrusted steaks opens in early September on Juniper Street in Midtown. The 200-seat Steak Market, owned by Kemal Karsli (Sivas Hookah Lounge) and Okan Yildirim, takes over the former Simon’s restaurant, which closed last May after just three years there. Simon’s replaced rapper Ludacris’s restaurant Straits before it was renamed to Time Restaurant and Lounge." - Beth McKibben
