Though Macelleria prepares excellent quality meats, they also have a wide variety of strong dishes should you be the only steak fan in your party. Located in the hopping Meatpacking District, Macelleria is perfect in the summer when you can sit outside and watch the models—who probably haven’t seen red meat in years—pass by. The restaurant occupies what once was a meat warehouse and as the name is Italian for “butcher shop,” the entire place is adorned to celebrate the cow. The signature dish is a porterhouse for two and though priced at $83, this doesn’t impede its popularity. The steak is seasoned and grilled perfectly, if only the smiling cow on the wall knew what was really going on.
