The Odeon
Tribeca·$$$$
$49.00
8 oz. aged prime NY strip steak served with maître d'hôtel butter and French fries.
Tip: The fries are legendary. Ask for a side of the house-made béarnaise—it's remarkably rich and elevates both the steak and the fries to another level.
#2Score 98/100
Pastis
Meatpacking District·$$$$
$39.00
Classic pan-seared steak served with house-made maître d'hôtel butter or bearnaise and thin fries.
Tip: Get it with the bearnaise sauce. It's made fresh several times a day and has a perfect tarragon brightness that cuts through the rich steak. The portion of fries is large enough to share.
#3Score 92/100
Balthazar
SoHo·$$$
$42.00
NY Strip steak cooked au poivre with crispy pommes frites and sautéed spinach.
Tip: Order the steak frites. 200 are sold daily because it's the best version in the city. The peppercorn crust is essential — don't ask for it without the pepper.
