Peter Luger's reputation is sometimes larger than the restaurant itself! Folks don't go here for the ambience or service, but if it's steak you want, you simply can't do better. The menu makes it simple: your choices are steak for one, two, three or four. The creamed spinach and steak sauce are out of this world. Tell your waiter to go easy on the whipped cream if you order dessert. Peter Luger is only a stone's throw from Manhattan (take the very first right off the Williamsburg Bridge), and the staff is accustomed to ordering cabs. Making reservations well in advance is suggested.
