Taking daughter to NYC for her high school graduation trip. Looking for recommendations for steakhouse for dinner.

Make res early

Already tried. Booked.

A steakhouse is one of the most boring types of restaurant you can go to in NYC. It isn't going to be as good as a top steakhouse in Texas.

To make it somewhat interesting, you should go to somewhere unique to there.

Peter Luger in Brooklyn is the most well known and historic. The food is not great, but it is an experience.

Keen's for the mutton chop was a good suggestion.

4 Charles is probably the most trendy steak place in town.

Any recommendations for something memorable? It will also be her 18th birthday

Il Cortile Italian on Mulberry Street. Authentic and excellent.

Depends a lot on your price range. What are you willing to pay for two people? And do you drink?

Budget is flexible just looking for memorable experience

That is kind of vague. Are you maxing out at $500? $1000? $1500?

Probably $100 per person

At that price, maybe Balthazar or Minetta Tavern or Momo***u Noodle Bar.

Cote is a nice experience

Strip House in Greenwich Village

If you're open to non steak house places, My wife and I were just there and I really enjoyed La Grande Boucherie. French restaurant with a very cool looking entrance and bar area. Food and cocktails were excellent. Walking distance to rockefeller, times square, broadway.

Doesn't need to be a steakhouse

Bocca di Bacco for italian

Quality Meats is close to Central Park and is very good.
