The Palm

American

“Although the original [837 Second Avenue] location is best”, all four local branches of this national chain are “consistent crowd-pleasers” thanks to “top-quality” steaks, lobsters and sides; toss in “friendly” (if occasionally “gruff”) waiters, theatrical speakeasy decor and a choice of “lower-cost daily specials” and it’s no wonder that this has been a NYC “favorite” since 1926.  Zagat Rated
