Danny Meyer’s crowning achievement in his long list of NYC restaurants, The Tavern is rustic farmhouse meets down home elegance a la American Midwest style, and the staff are attentive, professional and friendly. A 'you can’t beat the meat’ attitude prevails, and diners should go with it and try the roasted lamb with fava beans or venison in pomegranate reduction. For an elegant twist on an old American favourite, try the coffee meringue ice cream sandwich for dessert.

One of the oldest restaurants in NYC, Luger’s serves up steak, steak and more steak. Waiters give the 'whaddyawant’ Brooklyn attitude and the dining room is no more than a pile of old, rickety pub tables. Steak comes medium-rare, and if you ask for it otherwise, you’ll just get laughed at in response. The tomatoes are great and come a la carte, and for starters, in case you wanted to give your doctor a heart attack, you can order a plate of thick-cut bacon.

Where better to celebrate closing a big deal than at a good old fashioned steak house? Smith & Wollensky have been catering to the meat and potatoes business types for over five decades and stick to the notion if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. A typical meal starts with several martinis at the bar before moving onto enormous platters of quivering beef in all its forms: sirloin, porterhouse, double sirloin, filet mignon, prime rib and chateaubriand, to [name] just a few. Seafood and desserts are served, but should be skipped.

An American experience as quintessential – but a good deal smarter than – Disneyworld, Tavern on the Green is a legend and part of New York’s very fabric. A grand café overlooking Central Park and nestled in its own magical gardens, it overflows with crystal chandeliers, hand- carved mirrors, and stained glass and serves top-quality American dishes like Cobb Salad, Shrimp Cocktail and strip steak to gaping tourists and loyal locals alike. The setting is pure fantasyland.
