Keens Steakhouse

HERALD SQUARE · SINCE 1885

THE STORY

Some rooms are restaurants. Keens is a piece of the city’s memory. Opened in 1885 in the old Herald Square Theatre District, it was where actors slipped in through the rear door between acts — and it is the last survivor of that district standing. Look up: the ceilings hold some 90,000 clay pipes once kept by its regulars.

WHAT’S ON

USDA Prime, dry-aged on the premises. The Legendary Mutton Chop is the signature; the Prime Porterhouse for two or three, the T-Bone, and the Prime Rib King’s Cut carry the rest of the argument. Creamed spinach and a shrimp cocktail to start, the way it has always been done.
