Cowboy Star Restaurant and Butcher Shop

"Don’t be fooled by the cowhide chairs or the steer skull hanging on the wall—you have not wandered into a Cormac McCarthy novel. Welcome to Cowboy Star, a steakhouse bringing the Wild West to the East Village, right down to the giant spur-shaped door handle. If you’re looking to indulge your cowboy fantasy and tear into a tender, juicy hunk of ribeye, you’ll leave happy, but even the parker house rolls, bronzed from the oven, are amazing. And the roasted brussels sprouts come studded with diced apple—a surprising but inspired pairing. It might be tempting to continue the night with a mechanical bull ride in the Gaslamp, but probably not after all that food." - candice woo, cora lee, candice woo, cora lee, candice woo, candice woo, candice woo, cora lee, cora lee, candice woo, candice woo, cora lee, candice woo, cora lee, candice woo, candice woo, cora lee, candice woo, candice woo, candice woo, cora lee, candic

"This enduring East Village steakhouse serves contemporary American cuisine from longtime chef Victor H. Jimenez. The best seat might be at the chef’s counter, where you can watch the kitchen while enjoying a multi-course meal. Opt for menu items like the classic shrimp cocktail, seared scallops, and braised short rib." - Candice Woo, Helen I. Hwang

"With its tasteful western-influenced interior, this East Village steakhouse showcases dry-aged, grass-fed, and corn-fed beef from its own in-house full-service butcher shop. Order favorites like filet mignon or try seasonal specials like wood-fired elk rack chop, along with a glass from their extensive wine list or a first-rate cocktail." - Helen I. Hwang
