These 9 NYC Steakhouses Were Just Voted Among The Best In The World — One Is The Country’s Only Michelin-Starred Korean Steakhouse

With how many restaurants there are sprinkled around NYC–about 23,000, to be exact–sometimes deciding on where to eat in the first place can be harder than scoring a reservation to that spot...which is often *hard*, to say the least. Thankfully, this new ranking is stepping in to help us out. World’s Best Steaks recently unveiled their list of the 101 Best Steakhouses in the World, and considering they have 21 steak ambassadors spread across five continents uncovering these spots–who have explored 5900+ steak restaurants since launching in 2019, no less–we have a pretty good feeling we can trust their input. That’s to say by narrowing down the best steakhouses in the world, they’re making our jobs easier when it comes down to figuring out where we want to grab dinner at...and lucky for us New Yorkers, nine of our very own steakhouses made the cut! One NYC steakhouse made it to the top ten: COTE, from Seoul-born restaurateur Simon Kim, which ranked No. 10–and rightfully so, as it’s the first and only Michelin-starred Korean steakhouse in the country (which it received just five months after opening)! Over in the heart of Manhattan’s Flatiron District, COTE is redefining what a modern steakhouse can be. By combining the elegance of a classic American steakhouse with the communal fire of Korean barbecue, it delivers a dining experience that’s as theatrical as it is refined. The ranking writes: > Since its opening, COTE has drawn global attention...At the heart of the restaurant’s concept is the in-table smokeless grill, a nod to Korean tradition, but elevated by chef-level precision...But COTE is more than show. The attention to detail across the board is uncompromising. From the marbling of a single cut to the expertly curated wine list and cocktail programme, everything is executed with the precision of fine dining. Guests are invited to experience curated cuts of USDA Prime, American Wagyu, and A5 Japanese Miyazaki, all dry-aged in-house in a state-of-the-art aging room and grilled tableside by trained staff. The result: consistent perfection in doneness, crust, and temperature. There’s a reason Gordon Ramsay keeps recommending this restaurant to his team! Whether you’re searching for that fine dining precision or are looking for a cozier one nestled in a historic West Village brownstone, here are the New York City steakhouses worth cutting into: The World’s 101 Best Steakhouses – NYC winners ---------------------------------------------- 10.
