Established since 1885, the Keens Steak House serves the best American steaks in New York. It is certainly a must to make reservations to avoid waiting for a table especially during weekends. While reviewing the menu, the waiter served vegetables and bread with dip. I enjoyed the New York sirloin with creamed spinach and potatoes as sides. The steaks are delicious and the come in huge portions. The dinner specials of Keens Steak House include lobster bisque, prime bavette steak and filet mignon. Visiting Keens is a must to try its legendary mutton chops and prime steaks.
The dessert menu offers pie, tiramisu, puddings and ice creams. As each serving comes in huge portions, you might not be able to finish your dessert if you’re alone.
The bar area is darkly lit and warm like an old school with a rustic décor like a setting in any Charles Dickens’s novels. It is a classic New York chophouse that has over 90,000 pipes lining on the ceilings; these pipes were once smoked by diners after meals. Like any other typical steak houses, Keens Steak House is no exception. The atmosphere is vibrant and lively. I am certainly amazed with the extensive single malt selection with over 120 varieties on their menu.
The meal is certainly beyond my expectations. Keens long history certainly makes it a landmark in New York. The service is great and the waiters are helpful in explaining the menu. Fantastic and it is a truly New York experience suitable for a family meal.

For casual diners, Broadway East offers delicious food at affordable price. I enjoyed seeing their mouthwatering offerings on their menu. The Gazpacho served on the main course is certainly unique with fruit flavors blend with saltiness and acidity. Some of the best entrees on the menu include its veggie burgers and Cavateelli pasta. The desserts are great especially the cheese cake that comes in large serving. The fresh and seasonal ingredients used create a unique flavor in every dish. The chefs certainly placed a lot of attention on the each entrée details.
Although some items on the menu are specially catered for vegetarian diners, non-vegan will love them too. But there are non-vegan dishes too. Broadway East specialties are its organic cocktails that may seem too creative. I was amazed with the tomato vodka. Check out their notable local wine list too to suit with your meal.
The restaurant space is beautiful with a lush tropical feel during the day and a bright spot at night. The calm atmosphere and cool décor is not only elegant but charming. Broadway East offers a perfect romantic getaway with quality food in a lounge but vibe manner. The intimate setting makes it excellent for a date spot. I enjoyed the soft music while dining in the tranquil setting; it was a relief away from the streets. For great healthy food that comes fresh, it is a must to visit Broadway East.
