Keens Steakhouse

This circa-1885 steakhouse, chock full of Abraham Lincoln memorabilia, is anything but a museum. Keens keeps things fun, with activities such as bar trivia—answer three correctly and you get a free cigar. The bar is wonderful, manned by convivial barkeeps who know how to make a drink and can offer suggestions on the more than 200 scotches on hand. It's also the place for a pub menu of fresh oysters, turkey schnitzel and prime rib rash. For a more formal dining experience there are a number of prime dry-aged steak cuts, roasted buttermilk chicken and Dover sole.
