There is no single best steakhouse NYC. This is because there are many that are effectively satisfied, each in a unique way. There are the classics: straight and storied, nice green vegetable sides and a wood-covered dining room. But maybe you’ve had enough of that, and you’re finding yourself hankering for something sleeker, more inventive. Maybe somewhere young and fresh is more your speed. Or maybe it’s the buzzy Korean barbecue place that’s not only one of the city’s best steakhouses, but one of its best restaurants period.

Below, find the best steakhouses in NYC for every type of diner, according to our editors and contributors.
