Peter Luger: The Best Steakhouse in New York
Despite the increasing health consciousness we have to admit: Men love juicy steaks.
Nowhere else in the world the consumption of steaks is celebrated like in New York. For more than 30 years Peter Luger’s Steakhouse in New York is considered one of the go-to places in town when it comes to steaks. The reason is tasteable.
The iconic restaurant was opened back in 1887 by german-born Peter Luger (1866-1941) in Willamsburgh, Brooklyn, a neighborhood predominantly inhabited by Germans. In the following years Luger’s restaurant developed from a simple café into one of the best spots for steaks in New York. It even received a Michelin star plus many other awards. Among its guests are famous personalities and meat lovers like James Cagney, Alfred Hitchcock, Robert De Niro, Henry Kissinger, Elizabeth Taylor, Jackie Gleason, Chuck Schumer, Johnny Carson and Jerry Seinfeld.
The difference between Luger’s and other steakhouses: Luger’s meat ripens for weeks in cooling chambers before it is served by the waiters with a table fireworks. The following 60 seconds will show you the path of a Luger porterhouse steak for two from the butcher to the plate.
Whenever you’re in New York, make sure to stop by at Luger’s.
