ctnkb, In a previous post, you asked Hounds to rate their top 3 favorite steakhouses.

I read and participated on that thread. Rosie O'Grady was given a thumbs down, and nobody even mentioned the Rainbow Room Grill, obviously, for good reason. So that leaves just the other two, both of which most Hounds agree are good options. There were many other suggestions on that thread, so you might want to review those for your third choice.
You've also just posted a third request for help with steakhouses as well as for a "unique NY restaurant."

In my view, Keens is the answer on both counts, i.e., an excellent steakhouse that has been in its 36th St. location since 1885 and has unmatchable old NY ambiance.

You're talking about spending a good chunk of change on these places and for that amount, you can have AMAZING food in NYC. I would second chow__Gal's suggestions and look for some other options. If you can narrow it down by food or neighborhood, we can help you come up with some recs.
Keen's is great though. Enjoy your trip!

Hmmm, not a very good list to begin with. Why don't you read the board for some other suggestions, or tell us what you are looking for so we can better guide?
Rosie O'grady's. Mediocre, tourist faux pub. Pass.
Rainbow Room - tacky, cliche, tourist trap
Keen's - Very good steakhouse. Classic NY
BLT - another steakhouse, more glamourous, but not as good as Keen's IMO.

keens is a must for an old ny steakhouse...get the steak tartare for an appetizer.
blt steak is good but i doubt you want to only eat at steakhouses. if you do, then quality meats or strip house are excellent choices. id suggest going to williamsburg across the water to peter lugers though...nothing beats it.
rainbow room is cheesy. i go for business lunches and the food is always meh. for the money, go to a great place like veritas or bouley...you'll be much happier you did.
rosie o gradys...please pass on that one
