The Village Voice seems to think that Keens Steakhouse stacks up as a reasonably good alternative to Peter Luger’s Steakhouse:
The Verdict: The place is about 85 percent as pleasurable as Luger, all aspects considered.
Dinner for two, with a modest bottle of wine, with tax and tip: $170. The chop is $45.
Although I’ve lived for over 20 years in the same section of Brooklyn where Luger’s is located, I’ve never been to that restaurant – partly because they’ve got a reputation for being difficult to get into and partly because they’re a cash-only establishment (the only credit card they take is their own). Keens, however, sounds like a place that might just be a good substitute.
