Affordable Steak

“I am looking for a place where I can get a good steak for not an absurd amount of money. Thanks for the help!”

There are a couple of really great places that I love for steak in the East Village… all of them relatively affordable. I think the key to getting a well-priced steak in the city is by avoiding the standard “steakhouse”. Check out some of the Argentinian, French Bistro, and Brazilian barbeque spots.

One of my favorite places for a simple steak (especially late-night) is Jules Bistro on St. Marks and 1st Ave. It’s a cool jazz bar where a lot of young Parisians hang out. The bistro food is really solid and the music is great. I think steak frites is under $20.

Another great spot is Buenos Aires on E. 6th street, between A and B. It’s a little place with some really great Argentinean grub including a lot of great steak options for under $30.

I know there are some Brazilian barbecue places in the area, too… they’re slipping from my memory right now though. Maybe some commenters can help me out? Buon Appetito!
