"You might be skeptical of a sceney restaurant run by the guy who’s single-handedly responsible for millions of popped collars, but the food here is surprisingly good—especially the burger, corned beef sandwich, and strip steak. If you’re lucky enough to snag a reservation (which are only taken over the phone), you’ll earn the right to sit in a subterranean dining room with a massive collection of equestrian art and ample opportunity for celebrity sightings. In order to book a table, you have to call 212-207-8562. Reservations are released roughly one month in advance on the matching calendar date—on September 30th, for example, you can book for October 30th—and the phone line opens at 10am. If you can’t snag a reservation, try calling around 4pm on the day-of to see if there were any last-minute cancellations." - bryan kim, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore
