Soho, Manhattan · restaurant
That steak au poivre aroma — peppercorn, stock, and sherry — permeates the room before you've sidled up to the bar. The dark booths are perfect for dates but the bar is great for a friendly conversation with someone you're guaranteed to exchange numbers with. Start with a martini and the foie gras, then move on to a Cab and a steak or one of the elusive 12 burgers that are usually gone by 6:15. An all time New York classic.
