Beneath the pulsing city lies a hidden dining destination. USDA Prime steaks from the finest Black Angus cattle. Bespoke cocktails. A restored Bank Vault from the 1930s. This is Butcher & Banker, a new “steakeasy” at the crossroads of Penn Station, Madison Square Garden, Javits Center, and Hudson Yards. Under the culinary leadership of Executive Chef Scott Campbell, Butcher & Banker is no ordinary steakhouse. Seasonal ingredients and unique flavor combinations showcase the kitchen’s creativity. A dozen different steaks are on offer, but non-steak eaters will dine exceedingly well here. Butcher & Banker pays homage to the New Yorker Hotel’s storied history. The New Yorker opened in 1930 at the height of the Great Depression as the then-largest hotel in the city. It has attracted a who’s who of entertainers and dignitaries from around the world, including Muhammad Ali, JFK, Joan Crawford and Nikola Tesla. Beneath the hotel, a bank vault and offices were occupied by the Manufacturers Trust Company until 1980. With the opening of Butcher & Banker, the public can see the vault for the first time in 37 years.
