Beneath the pulsing city lies a hidden dining destination. USDA Prime steaks from the finest Black Angus cattle. Bespoke cocktails. A restored Bank Vault from the 1930s. This is Butcher & Banker, a new "steakeasy" at the crossroads of Penn Station, Madison Square Garden, Javits Center and Hudson Yards.

Butcher & Banker is no ordinary steakhouse. A dozen different steaks are on offer, but non-steak eaters will dine exceedingly well here.

Butcher & Banker pays homage to the New Yorker Hotel’s storied history. The New Yorker opened in 1930 at the height of the Great Depression as the then largest hotel in the city. It has attracted a who’s who of entertainers and dignitaries from around the world, including Muhammad Ali, JFK, Joan Crawford and Nikola Tesla.

Beneath the hotel, a bank vault and offices were occupied by the Manufacturers Trust Company until 1980. With the opening of Butcher & Banker, the public can see the vault for the first time in 37 years.

Carne fantastica, ambiente rilassante ma la presenza del cameriere che continuamente riempie il bicchiere dell’acqua rovina l’atmosfera. Prezzi alti ma in linea con la city

I’m not someone who likes to go to the same restaurant as I like to try new places, but Butcher and Banker is amazing and never disappoints. I brought my kids and they absolutely loved it as well!! We’ll definitely be back. Thank you!!

Food and ambience was great. But service wasn’t all that great not the fault of the sever at all. The manager actually took our order and forgot items we order so we had to wait an extra 10 to get our sides. On top of that the manager kept reprimanding the servers in-front of guest I found it extremely tasteless. I also gave a Hefty cash tip but several days later noticed the restaurant added an additional 40 dollar tip to my to my credit card.
