Keen?s Chophouse (now, apparently renamed Keen?s Steakhouse) is simply the best. We go there frequently and have never yet been disappointed with anything we have ordered. The beef and mutton are spectacularly good and the beef portions are so gigantic that we always end up taking a lot home in a ?doggie bag.? Little do they know that we, the humans, are the doggies. Keen?s is an unadvertised hidden treasure of New York City - unadvertised because the place is packed with people who have been going there within their family for literally generations upon generations. You see, Keen?s has been at it at this same location since something like the 1860s, when the Garment District was the Theater District. The place is full of memorabilia from a time before your grandparents were born and it?s all genuine. I want to stop in one day just to walk around and read it all, because it?s like a museum. Don?t miss Keen?s: It is a never-to-be-forgotten experience. One block from Macy?s and Just steps from the B, D, F, V, Q, N, R, W, and PATH trains (Herald Square Station, take the northeastern-most stairs out of the station and you?ll be right around the corner from Keen?s).
Pros: great, great food, extremely convenient in the heart of midtown, like dining in a museum
