A West Village brownstone holds what one reviewer called a robber baron's man cave: a windowless, sunken room with bejeweled sconces, red booths, and about ten tables that stay perpetually booked. The menu is built around a prime rib served in three cuts by thickness, plus a double patty cheeseburger enrobed in American cheese on a squishy bun. Reservations open online 21 days out at 9am and go fast; walk-ins can line up for a shot at the first seating before 3pm.
