Keens Steakhouse – Steakhouse
Stepping into Keens feels like a journey back to old Manhattan, where thousands of long-stemmed clay pipes blanket the ceiling and the air is thick with the savory perfume of wood smoke and history. Deep leather banquettes and dark wood paneling create a clubby, timeless sanctuary where the legendary mutton chop reigns supreme alongside perfectly charred, dry-aged steaks and the amber glow of a world-class scotch collection.
