Item Description

Enjoy dinner for Four at Porter House New York.

Porter House New York captures the spirit of American generosity – big juicy steaks, warm generous welcomes, the best products, filling a wide-open space with light, luxury and comfort. A New Yorker to the bone, Lomonaco also delved into the history of New York City's food and commerce. The porterhouse steak is a quintessential New York story. Before a porterhouse was a favorite steak it was the name for a meeting place. Convivial and welcoming "porter houses" dotted the New York landscape, bringing together businessmen, merchants, sea captains and travelers to enjoy a glass of porter or ale and a substantial meal. The porterhouse steak was born when, in 1814, the proprietor of Morrison's Porter House on Pearl Street ran out of beef steaks with a hungry customer at the door. Rather than turn the patron away he cut into the meat being saved for the family. Cut from the short loin, it was delicious. The patron told friends who wanted the same thing, and the porterhouse steak was born. Lomonaco has reinvented the steakhouse genre, mixing modern style and culinary insights with the congeniality and hearty welcome of the porter house of old.
