Knickerbocker Bar & Grill
8.2
A long-running Village bar-and-grill with a quiet reputation for excellent steaks and warm hospitality. The vibe is classic New York—dim, comfortable, and jazz-forward on weekends—making it an under-the-radar date-night pick. Come here for a well-executed T-bone or short ribs without the formal steakhouse fuss.
