The Scene
This Meatpacking District icon, which opened in 1868, fits the caricatured ideal of a steakhouse to an almost laughable degree. Men exceed women by a 20-to-1 ratio, black-and-white photos of New York adorn the walls, and waiters consist of a gruff cast of apron-wearing, middle-aged men. It's not quite as big as it used to be, though, since losing the lease to the space adjacent to the dining room; but its existing space bigger, adding fireside tables, a steakhouse bar upstairs, and a private dining room, all in the same atavistic style.

The Food
The amount of food served at the Old Homestead seems almost suited for an uber-class of human carnivore. Appetizers are huge, bare-bones affairs: a half head of iceberg lettuce drenched in blue cheese, a plate of tomatoes and onions so large they look like they grew in the shadow of a nuclear reactor. The dry-aged steaks run the gamut from an 18-ounce boneless sirloin to a two-pound rib eye to a ferocious-looking $60 porterhouse for two. It may not be the very best beef known to man, but it may be the biggest.
