Steakhouse

Good for special occasions
Good for business meals
Great for fine wines

Beneath the pulsing city lies a hidden dining destination. USDA Prime steaks from the finest Black Angus cattle. Bespoke cocktails. A restored Bank Vault from the 1930s. This is Butcher & Banker, a new "steakeasy" at the crossroads of Penn Station, Madison Square Garden, Javits Center and Hudson Yards.

Butcher & Banker is no ordinary steakhouse. A dozen different steaks are on offer, but non-steak eaters will dine exceedingly well here.

Butcher & Banker pays homage to the New Yorker Hotel’s storied history. The New Yorker opened in 1930 at the height of the Great Depression as the then largest hotel in the city. It has attracted a who’s who of entertainers and dignitaries from around the world, including Muhammad Ali, JFK, Joan Crawford and Nikola Tesla.

Beneath the hotel, a bank vault and offices were occupied by the Manufacturers Trust Company until 1980. With the opening of Butcher & Banker, the public can see the vault for the first time in 37 years.

It was a wonderful anniversary dinner before our Broadway show and they really made it extra special with a champagne toast. The banker bacon, Caesar salad and filet with carrots were all cooked to perfection and deliciously flavorful along with their mouth-watering hand-crafted cocktails. The portions were nicely sized and the service was top notch. We will be back!! I do have to mention a very strange experience though; we were given 2 drinks at dinner, then about 5 minutes later the waiter took them back. He stated they were supposed to go to some other couple, but that has never happened in all my years of dining. If you made a mistake, just leave it and apologize but taking it back seemed very class for such a high end establishment. Overall, it was worth every penny and the food was magnificent.

We enjoyed are dinner after a long day of meetings in the city. We ordered NY strip steak rare and Chilean Sea Bass. Both were very good, the Sea Bass was slightly over cooked. Overall it was a good experience. We ate inside the bank vault.

We had randomly picked it for your anniversary dinner after an art show. The service was excellent, and they provided us with a nice table and a celebratory drink. Food was great we split the tomahawk steak.

Had unfortunate experience right before arrival. They graciously changed my reservation time and seated us immediately. The Manager & staff were so awesome. We had a very enjoyable time with great food and palate pleasing recommended wine.

B&B has become my favorite NYC steakhouse because of the staff. The food is very good, but you can find comparable meals all over the city. The waitstaff, the bartenders, the management all work to provide a very pleasant high quality experience. Hector has been there since they reopened and he is flawless.

The manager was extremely passively rude. They called about a dress code in advance. When we got there at 630, most people were dressed in jeans and non colored shorts. The manager took exception to my son’s shorts despite him looking better dressed than most. He then wouldn’t let us sit in main area that everyone else sat in. We sat in the back (and not in the vault) and told my son to hide his legs behind the table so as not to upset the other patrons. HE was dressed in a wrinkled off the rack suit with a dirty shirt. He didn’t even have his jacket on…. The waiters were generally sloppy dressed. I dine around the world. This is a place NOT to go. Food was average at best.

We loved this gem. It’s safe to say it was a valuable deposit to our mother/daughter trip. We’ll be locking up the memories of this dining experience for a long time. The food was amazing, the team members were incredible and the ambiance was everything we hoped it would be. Definitely don’t withdraw this restaurant from your NYC to-do list.
