Why you should go…

Peter Luger has stood at the foot of the Williamsburg Bridge since 1887, when it began as Carl Luger's Café, Billiards and Bowling Alley. The menu centers on porterhouse steaks sized for two to four people, cut from USDA Prime beef that is hand-selected and dry-aged on site. A hamburger is offered at lunch only, and chocolate coins arrive after dessert. Bring cash, a US debit card or a US check, since the restaurant does not accept credit cards.
