"The food at Carbone is excellent, but you’re also there for the experience. The same can be said of Holy Ground. It’s a dimly-lit, below-ground steakhouse in Tribeca with red leather booths, low ceilings, and great martinis. While all the slow-smoked meats here are really good, it’s the details - like servers in jackets and ties slicing full racks of ribs tableside - that make the meal especially memorable." - bryan kim, katherine lewin, matt tervooren
