Peter Luger’s, Brooklyn, N.Y.

Steak for two: $81.90

This institution among steakhouses has been in business since 1887. Located in a massive Teutonic rathskeller beneath Brooklyn's Williamsburg Bridge, Peter Luger's is an easy 15-minute cab drive from New York's Financial District. Their steaks for two are legendary, with waiters presenting them on sizzling plates with plenty of fat at the bottom to spoon over the serving. Accompanied by a tomato-and-onion salad, fried potatoes and an appetizer order of Luger’s acclaimed bacon, this restaurant may just serve the meal of champions.
