i will be at the marriott brooklyn bridge the final weekend in feb...going to dressler's friday and peter luger sat. (iv'e been dreaming about this for years)...it'll be a real carnivore weekend...i know it will be the porterhouse at luger and probably the combo short ribs and hangar steak at dressler...any advice on apps and sides at luger or other dishes at dressler?...thanks so much hounds!

    Suggestions above all work. You'll have to decide for the opener if it's salad or tomato and onion (upon which you spoon the steak sauce, which is useless for steak). Order steak in multiples of steak for 2 depending on how many you are with, and if an odd number order one for three. The dilemma is desert- Holy Cow Sundae, pecan pie with shlagg or mouse cake? I'm full just writing this.

      At Luger's, let the gruff servers guide you, you won't be sorry. Ah, the creamed spinach. Good stuff. You get to see the BB up close? How cool. Enjoy.

        Creamed Spinach and German Fried potatoes. But by all means do not forget about the thick cut bacon as an app. Also, when ordering steak, be sure you get the Steak for Two as opposed to the Single serving of steak.

          Go for the artichoke salad at Dressler...always great. And if the have the venison, do that instead of the hanger steak/short ribs...they always have that dish, but I think the venison is only at this time of year.

            ive only been to dressler once last summer but had an excellent time...service, drinks, decor, and food were just excellent.

            i think i had a pretty basic scallop appetizer and the hangar/short rib entree...nothing mindblowing but a great night out.

            i remember i had a delicious hazelnut bundino or thick custard for dessert...delicious.
