Steak house · Williamsburg

"This Williamsburg steakhouse, open since 1887, now takes debit. (Still no credit, sorry.) Other than that, Peter Luger is stuck in the past in the best possible way. The service is endearingly surly, the crowd is 50% tourist, 50% dedicated regular—and all those regulars order a mysterious plain plate of raw sliced tomatoes and onions. A meal at Peter Luger adheres to an unbreakable formula: free bread and the signature ketchupy steak sauce, a wedge salad, impeccable creamed spinach, and finally, the justifiably famous porterhouse with a crispy-crackly crust, a soft, luxurious interior, and a whole lot of butter. Your server might not chat too much, but they'll deliver that still-sizzling steak with the speed of someone whose life depends on it, every single time." - molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah, neha talreja
