St. Anselm

“Cool” and “affordable” are two words you don’t usually find used in a sentence describing a New York steakhouse. St. Anselm is an exception, more of an anti-steakhouse steakhouse, where you can choose from a wonderfully weird wine list, and where no one will think you’re a rube for ordering the chicken or something from the pescatarian side of the menu should you be in the mood. Yes, there’s an extravagantly pricey rib eye for two, but you can still get what is the most baffling beefsteak bargain in town, the estimable butcher’s steak, at $24.
