Silverjet recommended restaurants in New York

New York’s history as a city founded on immigration is reflected in the extraordinary diversity of its restaurants. Whichever national cuisine takes your fancy, you will find it here – either in its traditional, authentic form or with an American twist. The ambition and creativity of New Yorkers is always in evidence as everyone competes to offer something different; this carries over into the restaurant interiors, which lead the world in bold and innovative design. In a city where standards are so high it isn't easy to single anyone out, but the selection of restaurants below offer a good starting point, serving some of the city’s finest food in settings you won’t find anywhere else.

Peter Luger Steak House
178 Broadway

With its bright lighting, gruff waiters and worn wooden furniture, the Peter Luger Steak House doesn’t score highly on ambience, style or welcoming demeanour. But try its legendary porterhouse steak and it soon becomes clear why this Williamsburg institution remains an unmissable New York culinary experience.

A local landmark since 1887, the restaurant was purchased by the Forman family in the 1940s and has been a family-run concern ever since. The Formans oversee the selection process personally, visiting wholesale markets every day to hand-select the best cuts of meat.

The result is the most exquisite steak available in the city – soft tender pink on the inside, charred on the outside and brought sizzling to your table with side orders of fried potatoes and creamed spinach. The dining room is always tightly packed and bustling; eating at Peter Luger’s is a communal experience, with platters available to share between 2, 3 and 4 persons.

Book well in advance, but leave your credit card at the hotel – Peter Luger’s only accepts payment in cash or with its own credit card.
