Rank 2. Born & Raised
Steakhouse
Tuxedo jackets and Converse sneakers say everything you need to know about this upscale steakhouse in Little Italy. The room is mid-century art deco dressed with black-and-white portraits of rap legends, and waiters push tableside carts like it's still 1962, but cooler. Steaks are the reason you're here, and they're impeccably done. There's also a rooftop bar if you need convincing to stay longer, which you will.

Rank 3. Fort Oak
Steakhouse
An upscale steakhouse in a converted car dealership sounds like a bit, but Fort Oak pulls it off beautifully. The space is bright and airy with a sweeping horseshoe bar and a mid-century vibe, and the fire-driven menu is built for sharing, so bring people you actually like. The crowd leans date-night and special-occasion, dressed up just enough to match the room. Happy hour at that bar is genuinely worth planning around.
