Comparing two classic NYC restaurants: Peter Luger vs. a modern steakhouse
My uncle took me to Peter Luger Steak House in Williamsburg last month. It's been open since 1887 -- way older than any other steakhouse I've been to. It's a no-frills kind of place: wood tables, grumpy waiters, and the best steak in New York.
The porterhouse for two was enormous. It was thicker than any steak I've ever seen. The meat was more tender than butter. Juicy, perfectly seared, served sizzling on a hot plate. My uncle said, 'No steakhouse in the city is better than Luger's.' I believed him.
The week after, a friend took me to a new upscale steakhouse in Manhattan. It was fancier than Peter Luger -- modern lighting, cocktail menu, Instagram-worthy plating. The steak was good. But to be honest, Peter Luger's was way more flavorful.
The new place was more expensive too -- our bill was higher than what we paid at Luger's, and the portions were smaller. My friend asked, 'Which was better?' I said, 'Peter Luger, and it's not even close. Simpler, tastier, and more honest.' Sometimes older is better.
