Peter Luger Steak House heads overseas

The long-running Williamsburg icon Peter Luger Steak House will open its first international outpost in Tokyo in 2020. The global restaurant management company Wondertable will run the restaurant, which also has an outpost in Great Neck.

Critic visits Danny Meyer’s new penthouse restaurant on opening night

Danny Meyer’s Manhatta, located 60 floors up in a FiDi tower at 28 Liberty Street, opened yesterday, and the Post’s Steve Cuozzo paid it a first-night visit. He notes the low-key nature of the debut: The weather was foggy and imperfect, though that didn’t take away from the views, and it was full of locals rather than the celebs and influencers that restaurants try to court for their grand openings these days. Cuozzo writes that the best place to sit is in the corner that overlooks the East River and Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges. And here’s a hot tip: According to Cuozzo, he received the $78 three-course prix fixe dinner for just $39 as part of a “soft opening” price that will potentially be honored all week. He recommends calling to be sure.
