Keens Steakhouse, New York
Thursday, September 24th, 2009
Is there anything that could make me feel more at home on my first night in New York, than an old fashioned English Victorian style chop house that has been around since 1885. However, comparing this to, say, Sam’s Chop House, is a bit like putting The Oxo Tower up against the Empire State Building.
They are both fine examples of art deco architecture but one is dainty and proportioned, whilst the other is just f##king massive. I am not sure I have seen a restaurant with so many rooms, so many more covers than the ESB has floors (there are 102 since you ask and 1860 steps if you walk up – I didn’t). Keen’s is enormous. And they serve meat portions to match.
Stumble It!
