This saloonlike Theater District stalwart opened in 1926 as a speakeasy, and its lengthy history can be read on its walls in the form of autographed head shots and yellowed newspaper articles. The dry-aged beef emerges from the open kitchen’s broiler juicy and nicely charred. Sides were less satisfying, including a heap of dry, burned potato bits kindly labeled “hash browns” and an overly garlicky plate of sautéed spinach. You may leave feeling that a better steak dinner is certainly to be had in the city—especially for this kind of money. But is there one to be had so close to your Broadway show?
