Peter Luger remains an unapologetic New York classic, where dry-aged Porterhouse and old-school charm are the main event. The wood-paneled rooms buzz with longtime regulars and curious newcomers, all tended by brisk, good-humored servers. Start with a house-made bratwurst or the iceberg wedge crowned with thick-cut bacon, then move on to the sizzling Porterhouse, broiled and served with its buttery jus. Simple sides like German potatoes, creamed spinach or sautéed broccoli round out the experience. Of course, there is always room for cheesecake — and schlag. Bring cash, come hungry and enjoy a slice of living history.
