Strip House: Situated among the scuzzy takeout joints on NYU’s restaurant row, Strip House is a surprisingly luxe spot—even for parent’s weekend. Draped in red leather, lit with red lights, and decorated with black-and-white photos, the charm of a classic steakhouse is supercharged at Strip House. This attention to detail is surprising, since the restaurant is part of a chain. The crowd tends to be chock-full of younger after-work professionals taking advantage of the prix-fixe meal before 6pm, and their slightly older counterparts enjoying some of the 600-plus bottles of wine that are available. With a celebrity following and super-sexy interior, Strip House is an asset to the college kids surrounding it—it’s a course in contemporary classics. |
