This massive, airy bistro in the former Hurricane Club spot has you covered with a top-notch traditional steak frites. Wildcard: you can also go for the lamb steak frites -- an untraditional-but-still-delicious (and covered in butter) option.

The Steak: The Tomahawk
You may not think of this Italian trattoria from Michael White (who also owns nearby steakhouse Costata) as a steakstination, but thanks to their new, only-available-on-Wednesdays, supremely funky and tender, 120-day-aged Creekstone Tomahawk, it totally is.

The Steak: Large-format rib eye
The latest entry in Ssam Bar's large-format game, this massive Niman Ranch meat slab feeds three-six people and is dry-aged 28 days, before waking up only to realize the world has been overrun by ZOMBIES!!!! It also comes with a bunch of sauces and sides, including dry-aged fat with brown butter roasting juices, red wine and shallot marmalade, bacon ketchup, fries, and a Caesar salad.

The Steak: Bavette steak
They've got a dedicated steak frites section of the menu at this newcomer from the team behind Buttermilk Channel. Get down with the Bavette -- it's a thick-cut accompanied by their house-made steak sauce, and of course, fries.

Narcissa (click here for address and info)
The Steak: Bone-in prime rib eye
Although they're actually doing some crazy-awesome things with vegetables at The Standard East Village's anchor from John Fraser, the steak is destination-worthy on its own. Pat LaFrieda meat is slow-roasted and served on the bone (or sliced into smaller pieces) with a gem salad and sea salt potatoes.

The Steak: Porterhouse for two
After a hiatus, this recently reopened classic is back, cooking slabs over hickory logs. All of the cuts are pulled from a gorgeous meat locker where they age their beef in full view, including a killer New York sirloin that's got a great, Earthy-yet-juicy flavor.

Colonia Verde (click here for address and info)
The Steak: Lomo al trapo
Their signature dish here is a traditional Colombian presentation of beef tenderloin, where they take the beef t-loin, wrap it in coarse and fine salt, and then cook it on a wet cloth over an open grill 'til "all that's left is a block of salt and a juicy steak".
