"Situated around the corner from the hotel entrance and seating up to 130, I encountered NYY Steak as a nostalgic-meets-modern, Yankees-branded steakhouse with on-site butchery and a dry-age room, beef sourced from a farm within two days of slaughter, and a menu that ranges from tenderloin cuts and porterhouses to a 56-ounce long bone for two. I noted staples like steak tartare and bone marrow alongside technique-driven modernizations—a scallop with hand-ground Carolina grits that requires 12 finishing steps including fennel pollen and burnt ash—and a heavy emphasis on fermentation, pickling, perfumes, essences and dashis. There's also a meatless, three-course tasting menu ($65) using produce grown for Hard Rock in Pennsylvania, with the option to add protein, and theatrical tableside service such as a custom double-sided Caesar cart by RCP Design that filters water and uses house-pasteurized egg yolks to make the dressing." - Dena Levitz
