Manny's Steakhouse

Manny’s Steakhouse has white tablecloths and a cart rolling hunks of meat around the dining room, where Fortune 500 execs close big deals and couples celebrate twentieth wedding anniversaries. On paper, the $132 50-ounce bludgeon of beef (this is the literal name of the cut) sounds like a lot of money to spend on just one piece of meat, but it’s nicely tender, big enough to share, and gets carved tableside. The $65 filet-cut baseball steak is another good option if you want the same dry-aged flavor but something smaller. Sides are sized to split with the table—try the crispy french fried onions and creamy mashed potatoes topped with generous chunks of bacon. End the grand meal with the brownie so huge you might need to use your steak knife.
