This might be the best of the various Peter Luger copies (i.e., places proffering prime porterhouse steak that's broiled, sliced and served in a sizzling butter sauce), which have become so popular over the past decade. The secret of its success, our reviewers say, is "better quality meat" that is "perfectly aged and charred" and sides that are even "more plentiful" than the ones offered by the competition. The Midtown East location makes for a convenient alternative to The Palm when you happen to be in a porterhouse rather than a New York strip state of mind. A "steadily improving wine list" further enhances the experience.
