Wow, this might be the best steak restaurant in New York City.  The Strip House is run by Chef Rene Lengre and we recommend the foi gras torchon and the truffled cream spinach.  Check out the goose-fat potatoes and the New York City Strip served in beef den.  Pretty amazing.  Reservations needed.

Incredible wine list, and the roquefort dressing is wonderful.  Not a fancy place, but it Sparks Steakhouse in New York City has thick, perfect steaks - note that Paul Castellano (mob boss) was shot here.  You'll need reservations.
