"This legendary restaurant started as a speakeasy in 1927, a true Prohibition-era bar that didn’t turn into a steakhouse until the 1930s. Long Island-born restaurateur Dean Poll bought it in 2013 and revamped it shortly after. Still, he maintained the restaurant’s meat cooler that can be spotted from the street, one of the rare steakhouse dry-aging rooms still available for public viewing. Start off with the bacon-studded clams casino, then pair a funky dry-aged ribeye with fries and a wedge salad drenched in blue cheese. Call ahead for the prime rib, one of the city’s best." - Eater Staff, Ryan Sutton
