Elevated steakhouse in the Time Warner Center, boasting sweeping Central Park views and a modern twist on classic dishes that impress even the pickiest diners.
"Located in Columbus Circle (along the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade route), Porter House is a great spot to kickstart any Thanksgiving celebration. This year, the historic steakhouse is offering a three-course menu ($165 per person, $75 for children under 10) that mixes individual plates with family-style sides and desserts. Expect plates like butternut squash bisque for appetizers, roasted natural turkey for entrees, and apple-cranberry crostata for desserts." - Kevin Chau
"Most of New York’s great steakhouses are housed in dim, wood-paneled rooms designed to make you feel like you’re playing an elaborate game of D&D, but Porterhouse NYC turns that trope on its head. Here, you eat your red meat atop the ivory tower of the Time Warner Center, in an elegant, airy space overlooking Central Park. At $180, the porterhouse here is one of the priciest in the city, but it’s cooked perfectly, seasoned well, and comes with an unparalleled view. At lunch, you can get a three-course $49 steak frites situation that’s easily the best steakhouse lunch deal in this part of town. If you’re ordering a la carte, you’re morally obligated to get the ice cream sundae, which comes with brownies, cherries, and hot fudge.

"Michael Lomonaco’s steakhouse remains a reliably upscale option for a bite before Jazz at Lincoln Center upstairs. The menu features steakhouse staples like thick slab bacon, crab cakes, and dry-aged cuts, as well as fancy Lomonaco-esque touches like butter poached lobster. More expensive wagyu steaks are also available. Walk-ins can swing by the bar for a full menu." - Ryan Sutton
"Most of New York’s great steakhouses are housed in dim, wood-paneled rooms designed to make you feel like you’re playing an elaborate game of D&D, but this spot in the Deutsche Bank Center turns that trope on its head. Here, you eat your red meat in an elegant, airy space overlooking Central Park. At $180, the porterhouse here is one of the priciest in the city, but it’s cooked perfectly, seasoned well, and comes with an unparalleled view. At the end of your meal, you’re obligated to get the ice cream sundae. " - bryan kim, sonal shah, kenny yang, carina finn koeppicus
