Although not among the best, the Old Homestead is one of the oldest and most atmospheric of New York's steakhouses. Established in 1868, it retains a decidedly old-world aura, from the cow perched atop the awning to the townhouse setting that existed long before the Meatpacking District became a trendy dining destination. The portions are huge, from a whale-size lobster (that's how it's listed on the menu) to a porterhouse steak for two that weighs about as much as a standard dictionary. Vegetables, desserts, wines and service are somewhat incidental; it's the charm of visiting an old-time restaurant in an out-of-the-way location that continues to be the real draw here. Weekend dinners begin at 1 p.m., just as in the old days. |
