  1. Not having Smith & Wollensky on here is a travesty.

  2. Mark Joseph's is every bit as good as any of the Wolfgang's locations and better than Sparks as well.

  4. How can you not include the original Smith & Wollensky on Third Avenue in Manhattan in this ranking? I am looking at their front door from my office window as I write this comment, and eat there often for lunch & dinner. The bone in rib eye is the best steak I have ever had anywhere in the US in my entire life. I wish that this ranking could be amended, as this is a severe oversight.

  6. I'd "like to know" if "Mr. Mulcahy" could have "written" this "article" if the "quotation mark" key on his "keyboard" weren't "functioning properly".

  7. Smith and Wolensky's is a has been that quality has suffered. I am surprised Gallaghers and Bobby Vans are not on the list!!

  9. These are the true leaders as Steakhouses from someone that knows not some writer that thinks they know;

    Peter Luger - They pick out their own meat....so every piece of meat is hand selected by the owners only..
    Keens- Picks most of their own meat
    Wolfgangs- Luger rejects that think they know the meat business
    Smith & Wollensky NYC- Tough meat steward that knows some meat
    Benjamins- same Luger rejects
    Old Homestead- another meat maven that thinks he knows meat
    -----------------
    Mortons
    Palm Steakhouse
    Ruth's Chris
    are all chain restaurants that purchase on a yearly basis have no idea what they get most of them get Holstein cattle not Steers that the rest get

  11. Why isn't Ben Benson's listed? That restaurant is for serious steak eaters and not for the "branding generation."

  12. Ben Benson's may be leaving us, but , it is still one of the best out there. Who is this guy Mulcahy?

  13. Mark Joseph's is every bit as good as any of the Wolfgang's locations and better than Sparks as well.

  14. Interesting. I agree with some of these but not others. Certainly not Lugers. Check out Johnny Prime's reviews for really in depth reviews of most of the city's best joints. From what I understand it is a work in progress.
