The Best Steak Frites Under $40 In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"The steak frites at Maison Pickle clocks in at $34, and it’s also worth noting that this spacious Upper West Side restaurant uses rib eye, which comes topped with compound butter and achieves a crispy, charred crust. There are also plenty of other menu items—like fried chicken and shrimp scampi—in case the person you’re dining with doesn’t want beef. Plus, if you come on the earlier side, you might even make it for Mini Martini hour, which sounds way more fun than regular Happy Hour." - bryan kim, willa moore, sonal shah
