There may be better places to eat in New York City, but this is the single greatest room. We specify the Grill Room, of course, and at lunchtime, not dinner. That’s when members of the town’s power menagerie gather along the banquettes like sea lions on a rock. Everything on the extravagant menu—$55 for a steak, $48 for crab cakes—tastes much better when you’re on an expense account. When in doubt, order the dependably sturdy bison burger ($34) and a Bloody Mary or two, then sit back and enjoy the spectacle.
Recommended DishesMaryland crab cakes, $48; bison carpaccio, $32; Dover sole, $58
