Delicious Cajun ribeye for lunch at Smith & Wollensky, a Manhattan institution. Fork tender steak. Great char. It was some kind of rub that tenderized the meat. It’s literally a big piece of meat that fills the plate. There’s no room for anything else. We got hash browns on the side that were great. I had Smith & Wollensky’s famous split pea soup, which was excellent on a cold, snowy day in the city. They serve it with croutons.

Smith & Wollensky also has a great bacon cheeseburger, a big, thick burger that’s extremely tender. You bite into it and the juices literally drip down.
