This newly opened East Village restaurant claims “grilled meats and aquatic delights” as its specialties, and backs up that promise with menu items such as a 28-day dry-aged NY strip steak and a “Seafood Tower” ($21 for the mini, $125 for the large). The colonial, equestrian-chic ambience—the name of the restaurant refers to two famous racehorses—is ideal for a group outing. After dinner, stroll next door to
Madam Geneva, the adjacent speakeasy-style lounge serving gin and specialty cocktails.
Who to bring: Men, i.e. your dad and brother, will appreciate the atmosphere and meat-centric menu here. Call ahead for a table.
