A Midtown steakhouse that has been open since 1885, spread across three old townhouses. The low ceilings are lined with tens of thousands of clay pipes from its old pipe club, whose members included Teddy Roosevelt, Babe Ruth and Einstein. It's famous for the mutton chop (really a thick saddle of lamb), and the walk-in bar has more than 275 single malts. I had the filet mignon and it was the most delicious non-wagyu filet mignon I've ever had. I still think about how it could have been made to be so delicious when it wasn't wagyu. I also had the ice cream sundae and the wedge salad and both were excellent. It was a really good meal overall.
