i was taken to a staekhouse called BRYANT AND COOPERS on long island.one of the best steak houses in new york. i had a porterhouse for 2 myself! what a meal. we try to go here once every few months. that and a few grey goose dirty martinis.... and we are off to the races. i finished off the night with an opus x super belicoso!

sounds like a great dinner, is this the place that charges for everything seperately, and a baked potato is like $12.00?

its a very nice potato.

Charloods:

How would you compare Bryant and Coopers steak with Peter Luger?...is it cigar-friendly? (I know Luger is not).

roy...all restaraunts in NYC are smoke free...

Bryant and cooper is a much better atmosphere! but, the steak at Luger's IMHO is still the best in the WORLD, not that i tasted them all
no like o man said, you cannot smoke in ALMOST anywhere in NYC. i do believe there are a few places. I'm not positive, but i think the steak house in scores is one of the places you can smoke. there a few places on long island that you can eat and smoke in. the CARLTON being one of them.

Charloods:

Next time you're in Manhattan and want a good porterhouse, check out Bobby Van's....very comparable to Luger and I am one of those who say you start with Peter Luger and work your way down.

ill try it. i goto manhatten twice a month at least for dinner, i agree, lugers is the one of the best ive ever had, and im a red meat junkie.
