BENJAMIN STEAKHOUSE

For dining in the lively Midtown district, close to tourist favorites like Times Square, Rockefeller Center and Radio City Music-Hall, and if you're looking for the best steak house in New York City, New York's Benjamin Steak house, located near Grand Central Station in a century-old Chemist Club building, is a great place for meat. We listed it right behind the famous steak house in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, built in 1887. The Benjamin Steak house, has become over the years an old establishment, created more than 30 years ago by Benjamin Prelvukaj, from a family originating from the Balkans between Montenegro and Kosovo. The size of most of the waiters and waitresses is reminiscent of the DNA of the company's founders: big guys...

The house prides itself on offering you a quality dining experience in an elegant downtown setting. And because of their meat, using only the best USDA premium beef, is the "best of the best". Quality is the basis of all meat dishes: from Benjamin's famous extra-thick bacon, to entrecote steaks, to filet mignon. We also liked the veal chop "tomahawk" and the long bone "Wagyu". The Benjamin Steak house also offers a wine list of more than 1,200 selections in which we regretted not finding Château Auzias in the Languedoc, a Cabardès appellation, classified by the famous magazine Decanter as the best value for money to accompany and "food pairing" a red meat dish. When you go on a spree, make sure you get your money's worth by dining at this remarkable steak house in New York City. You'll also be amused to meet some celebrities like William Shatner and Kim Kardashian who come here regularly.
