Tribeca eats

My little sister decided to come up and celebrate her birthday here in New York.  Of course I created a nice itinerary which included great places to eat, touristy things like visit Times Square and Central Park and picked a handful of nightlife events.  One of the main requests she gave me was to have an awesome dinner, preferably at a steakhouse.  Since I enjoy food so much and live for trying new places to dine, my quest to find the perfect place for dinner started about 2 weeks prior to her visit.  The choice for the evening is none other than American Cut.  This is a modern steakhouse in the Tribeca area serving some of the best steaks I’ve had so far.

You walk in to such a beautiful decor with the dim lighting and such a simple yet elegant table setting.  To start, we went with their rendition of the wedge salad called ‘Black Knife Wedge’ which is your typical iceberg lettuce, blue cheese and bacon. Too fancy it up a bit theirs also had sun-dried tomatoes and croutons which were a nice touch.  For the entree, I decided to have the filet mignon and the dry aged potatoes with bacon and mushrooms.  The filet literally melted in my mouth and the roasted potatoes were simply amazing.  My sister went with the restaurant’s staple steak choice, the New York City cut, which was also very delicious as its cooked with pastrami spices and smoked to perfection.  You can also add different sauces or butter if you like but I stuck with the special made steak sauce that’s made in house.  Delectable is an understatement when trying to describe the dinner here at American Cut.  The restaurant choice was a hit for the birthday celebration and I will definitely be back to dine here again!  Check out pics of some our food choices below.
