"Josh Capon and John McDonald’s bastion of beef is where to go for an East Village steakhouse experience. Start off with lush kushi oysters topped with wasabi leaf and lemon; follow that up with chile duck wings glazed in soy honey; then order a big old steak. For maximum flavor, the dry-aged porterhouse will get the job done ($152). Or for something a bit more nimble (and affordable), the 18-ounce strip ($72) will provide sufficient bovine nourishment for two." - Ryan Sutton
