Peter Luger Steak House
178 Broadway (Driggs Ave.), Brooklyn 718-387-7400

Now in its 26th consecutive year as our surveyors' "favorite" steakhouse, this Williamsburg porterhouse specialist "lives up to the hype" as a "quintessential NY experience", with lots of imitators but "none that compare" to the "real thing"; despite prime prices, theatrically "grumpy service" and an "inconvenient" no-credit-card policy, its worth the trek for what fans call the "best steak in the world - period."
