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.

                      Mini tacos were excellent. Steak was only fair and disappointing. Most expensive cut and far too much gricel. Prepared properly just disappointing. Sides were good.

                      The food and service was amazing. Only thing that let it down was the greeting. Real shame such attitude. Ring greeted is really the widow into the restaurant and deserves better.

                      The burgers were excellent. Service was very good. It is close to Madison Square Garden, which is a big plus. The bank vault dining room provides a great atmosphere.

                      I’ve eaten here before and it was pretty good. This time it wasn’t. I ordered a short rib dish. Somehow they made short ribs bland and tasteless.

                      The food and service were good, but the experience was awkward. The manager was in the dining area the majority of our visit, spending copious amounts of time with every table except ours. Unsure of the reasoning because he wasn’t shy about visiting every other table and having lengthy conversations, but only glanced at us when our food came and said “bon appetite.” It felt strange and we were glad to leave when our meal was done.
