scene: A downtown, trendy mix of business men, thirty-something women, and "hip" parents; I can foresee some bridge and tunnel on the weekends, but all around great vibe
sip: Decent cocktail list, but we prefer our meat with a dirty martini or glass of red
savor: Deviled Eggs, Spaghetti Aglio e Oilo, Bowery Steak, Cheeseburger
sit: Try to snag a cushy booth along the side of the room, or banquettes in back as they are defintely sexier than the tables in the middle of the hustle and bustle
scene: Dark and sexy, packed bar and dining room with TriBeCa's best dressed
sip: A creative cocktail menu (inclusive of an Espresso Martini, watch out), along with extensive wine list with some great reds to compliment red meat
savor: The Everything Bagel Biscuits, Chili Lobster, Cesar Salad, Filet, Twice Baked Potatoes with Chedder and Truffle
sit: In a cushy banquette for girls night, guys night, or double date night
scene: Sexy red walls add a bordello type feel, with old fashioned masculine touches that keep it from being hokey; cozy and buzzy at the same time
sip: A dirty martini at a steakhouse necessity; slightly over-priced wines available by glass and bottle
savor: Steakhouse faves with decadent twists; garlic bread with gorgonzola fondue; truffle creamed spinach; 24 layer chocolate cake
sit: This place is really good for just about any carnivore gathering- dates, large groups, or Guy's Night Out; seats at the bar go fast, but the environment is far from stuffy, so it could be both a special occasion place or just your go-to steak joint
spend: $$$
address: 13 East 12th Street (between University and 5th)
scene: Steakhouse-light; Not quite Barnyard on the Bowery, but there is rustic horsey theme; low lights and some manly touches
sip: Old Fashioned; seasonal speciality cocktails and slightly over-priced wines by the glass
savor: Chicken Liver Pot of Deliciousness; razor clam appetizer; pork chop; potato salad
sit: This could be a good place to Bro-out, or take people on an expense account; groups of women could try to find lighter bites on the menu, but I think men would appreciate this place a little bit more
