"Ah, The Met. This velvet-wrapped, 1983-born steakhouse legend still holds up. Service is attentive without being smothering. You're in good hands with any piece of meat, even a humble sirloin. There's delicious free bread in droves, mounds of roasted garlic mashed potatoes, and a skyscraper-sized carrot cake with an entire pint of ice cream. The whole to-do works well for nights when you want to wear a fancy outfit and up your iron intake." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
