About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Great for fine wines
Great for creative cocktails

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.

This is an upscale Steak House near Penn Station in The New Yorker Hotel. Make sure you get a table in the old Safe Deposit Room of the former bank.

This was hidden gem. I loved that we sat inside a vault. The food was really good. The portions were larger than what I had thought they would be. The short rib “Wellington” was fantastic. I have nothing constructive to say about this dining experience. It was great.
