(Foodies) Top 10 NY Steak's, what a joke!

[istewart]

Few questions here, figured this is a good place for a hijack.

Diablo, jnalpak, everyone who has been to Wolfgang's: I'm going there again soon, you guys said the bacon was top notch right? Or not? Also anything other sides that are must-eats?

Voltron: Elaborate on Gotham Grill. Been meaning to go there.

Before I turned vegetarian last week, I was big into steaks. I think Ruth Chris (the one in Weehawken at least) belongs in the top 10. It's better than Frankie and Johnnie's and as good as Del Frisco. It's not as good as Luger's, Palm, and a few others, but it's top 10. Oh and Morton's sucks and doesn't belong even in a top 100.

The best piece of beef I've had anywhere though was at Daniel. Nothing, anwyehre in the world, including all the top places I've eaten at in Vegas and London, compares to the beef at Daniel.

Until I go to Le Bernandin, Masa, and Per Se, I am going to say that Daniel has the best food in the world.

I would define "The World" as slightly wider than New York, Weekawken, London, and Las Vegas.

istewart,

wolfgang's is easy. martini. a couple of slices each of bacon to start. steak for x, medium rare. red wine. creamed spinach. cottage fries.

jnalpak has in the past had a couple of other suggestions in addition to the above.

I'm not sure whether I would recommend it, because my food was so good and everyone else's was so... meh. On my food, I would give it a great rating and everyone who tried my steak agreed, but their dishes weren't as good. The sides on my steak (carrots, onion rings, and a custard) were also forgettable. The wait was pretty long for the entrees, and the room was pretty noisy. The noise thing is more of a preference, but it's on the louder side FYI. But the steak was excellent and I loved it, and so was my appetizer, linguini with a cream and mushroom sauce. so get the steak. does this match anyone else's trips there?

Trust me: Ruth Chris at Weehawken cooks a terrific filet. The sides suck. Shrimp app isn't bad.
