Keens Steakhouse is a historic chophouse on West 36th Street near Herald Square, founded in 1885 by theater figure Albert Keen.
It serves USDA Prime steaks and keeps a well-known single-malt Scotch collection. Eater New York calls it a performance in New York dining all its own. Reviewers praise the service and old-world decor; the legendary mutton chop, dry-aged porterhouse, creamed spinach and Cobb salad are favorites.
