"Butcher & Singer is one of many steakhouses near Rittenhouse Square, but unlike the others, this one looks like the private establishment where fat cats compared gold bars before the crash of ‘29. Before the bone-in filets and seafood platters, this Art Deco clubhouse was a bank, and it still feels like you could walk in and ask for $100 in pennies without anyone batting an eye. All of their steaks are top-notch (especially the Delmonico), and skipping the crispy stuffed hash browns would be sacrilege. It’s all a bit over-the-top, but that’s what makes Butcher & Singer work." - candis mclean, alison kessler
