This barbecue house in Harlem has managed to wedge a small slice of biker and country culture right into one of the city's densest urban neighborhoods. Pit Platters include pulled pork and delectably moist barbecued chicken, while some of the specialty plates venture a bit further from Texas, with Churrasco chicken steak and Korean style BBQ beef ribs making appearances. There's plenty of beer and whiskey for the thirst ones, but it's not an all adult place either; you can dine here with your family or even your four legged friends. Matching the rustic vibe of Harlem, the entire restaurant is wood paneled from top to bottom, with colorful ambient lighting creating quite an aesthetic effect.
Exceptional service and exquisite cuisine are the hallmarks of the Sea Fire Grill. With a raw bar offering chilled lobster, clams, oysters, and shrimp, alongside a menu rife with seafood delicacies like basted Atlantic halibut, yellowfin tuna tartare, and Alaskan king crab legs, this restaurant is truly a haven for seafood lovers. Chef Ted Pryor sources his crustaceans and other seafood from the remotest locations, such as Nova Scotia and Hawaii, so freshness is not compromised. Refined yet approachable, every dish is a masterpiece in and of itself. The dining area is sleek, modern, and elegant, with intimate lighting, wooden wine shelves, and a lovely fireplace that infuses the air with warmth and comfort.

Joe Allen
Before going to a play in the Theater District, many people like to dine at a popular and moderately priced restaurant in the area. Joe Allen meets the purpose as the food and service are always dependable, and it is a fantastic spot to grab a quick meal before rushing on to catch your show. Brick walls and white tablecloths give the restaurant a classy, casual, and comfortable ambiance. The Caesar salad and Joe Allen Burger are popular, and main courses such as the Steak Frites, Grilled Shrimp, and Roasted Pork Chop are satiating. Hot Fudge Pudding Cake is a favorite dessert.
Step into this classic chophouse and admire the odd display of 90,000 clay pipes that were once smoked by customers after dinner. Established in 1885, Keens is still popular for its legendary mutton chops and dry-aged prime steaks. Start with the Maryland Lump Crab Cakes, then try the Prime Porterhouse Steak. Indulge in the Vermont Bayley Hazen Blue with Port for dessert or one of the many single-malt scotches the bar serves. Banquet rooms like The Bull Moose Room and The Lincoln Room are also available for parties and special events.
A part of the Refinery Hotel, Parker and Quinn dishes out popular American favorites which includes everything between baby back ribs and mac n' cheese. The interiors at this restaurant nods wistfully towards the late '80s with its dark wood furniture, high tables and several black and white pictures adorning its elaborately wallpapered walls. The meals are filling, take the lamb burger for an example or the hanger steak; the drinks list goes on and on with creative concoctions and splendid spirits.
At Quality Meats, you can enjoy some of the finest meats available, hand-selected by Milton Abeles and Strassburger Meats, two of New York's oldest and most revered butchers. The decor draws inspiration from the butcher shop, with industrial meat hooks and scales turned light fixtures combining with wood paneling and white marble to create a sophisticated and elegant ambiance. The meals might be a bit pricey, but you get exactly what you pay for and exactly what the name of the restaurant claims: quality.
