Manhattan Strip Clubs: Midweek Special: NYC Restaurant Review Roundup

This week Sam Sifton at the Times upgrades Strip House, the swank Greenwich Village steak house, to two stars. (The paper last reviewed it in 2000.) “William Grimes, in a review for Times that year, wrote that Strip House ‘wasn’t so much a steakhouse as a catalog of hip references to the idea of a steakhouse.’ He awarded the restaurant one star. Now it deserves two,” Sifton declares. “Age has given David Rockwell’s design for the room a kind of gravitas, and with it the restaurant has gained some of the clubby appeal you used to be able to find at places like Gino, on Lexington Avenue, which has a similar layout, or in the bar room at 21. (As at 21, there is great fun to be had in snooping about the place. In addition to portraits of Viennese strippers, torch singers and ancient celebrities on the walls, there is a signed portrait of Thurgood Marshall near the bar.)… And the food is generally marvelous, the steak often superb.”
