Chef Tom Colicchio's corner spot on 10th Avenue's restaurant row has a
mostly male crowd who can be found reposing in the open lounge or
knocking back strong cocktails at the lengthy bar. A two-story glass
wine tower separates the dining area, a sprawling, high-ceilinged space
where butter-colored banquettes are the best seats in the house. Which
of the 20 steaks to get depends largely on budget (sizeable cuts of
Wagyu can balloon past $100), but there is also plenty else on the menu
to admire like the excellent raw bar and farm-fresh veggie selection.
