They say the best place to get a New York steak is in New York, and one of the best steak houses in New York is Rosie O’Grady’s at 800 7th Ave. Family-owned and operated for over 30 years, Rosie O’Grady’s is centrally located near Times Square, Rockefeller Center, the Jacob Javits Convention Center, and a short distance from several major museums.
The restaurant has the look and feel of a classic New York steakhouse. The room features lots of deep colored wood, and the old bar is full of character. The place even has a sense of humor. Right at the entrance, there’s a sign that tells you the CPR kit is available at the front desk. Hopefully, you won’t eat a steak big enough to use it.
I went for the classic New York strip, grilled medium rare. It comes with a bake potato with sour cream and nothing else. O’Grady’s steaks are served À la carte, meaning any sides are extra (except for the potato).
I can see why there was a sign for a CPR kit after I saw the steak. The thing is huge! The menu said it was 14oz, but it looked much bigger than that. Consume the entire meal with the free bread, and you may need that CPR kit!
The steak was grilled perfectly and was very juicy. It wasn’t the most tender or flavorful steak I’ve ever had. That honor still belongs to Gotham Steakhouse. However, steaks at Rosie doesn’t cost as much as the USDA Prime steaks at Gotham. In terms of value for money, Rosie O’Grady’s is pretty hard to beat.

One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress. Terms like FTP and CPanel are like a foreign language and setting up a database might as well be setting up the space shuttle for a launch.

Price?
I forgot the exact price because I didn’t pay but I think it was $35 on the menu.
Boy you always provide us quality food and their spot …
I am Vegetarian and would love to read your dinning out at Veggie restaurant.
Wow – Some price for a steak, but you got it free so what do you care! Looks good.
Looks like another great meal, John Chow style! The CPR kit sign is crazy. Thanks for sharing!
please share its recipe.
LOL, we have Berns Steakhouse in Tampa that is one of the best I have ever had. They even have a separate floor that you go to for dessert.
So everybody knows that these people had their lunch or dinner and now going for dessert … lollzz
That steak looks a little burned to me…maybe it looks that way in the photo.
That’s what I thought at first, but I think it’s just the photo. The sauce on the steak could be dark as well.
It looks like that when it is correct grilled.
I like my steak well done, so looks very tasty to me. However, I did have the same reaction, does not look medium rare but could just be photo.
i wouldn’t dare to comment but the display looks a bit dull to me and it seems kinda burnt.
but if the taste is good hey why not since it is recommended by john.
but i love a meal better if i can complete it with a nice dessert
do they serve nice desserts john? sorry i just can’t stop loving something sweet.
Ya, desserts are required after the meal to make it more special!
Nice nice. The first picture doesn’t really look good though. The shape and the color you know. It looks a lot like…. You know.
nice food, i love steak a bit too much
Steak is very tasty, one of my favorite dinners for special celebrations. However, don’t eat it too much on a day-to-day basis.
I walked by there today. Walked from 10th avenue to 5th Avenue and passed right in front of it at one point (and all over Manhattan) earlier today.
Lol I just noticed the CPR kit – that would be funny to see them use it in on someone who choked up a steak.
These dishes look so delicious! Awesome meal you must had!
That is the speciality of John … Always come up with the great food …
Yes John loves great food, and so do I and everyone else!

My favorite restaurant here in Spain is a small Spanish taverna/restaurant with a fabulous 400 gram = 14.1 ounces Entrecote with all the permissions for
only 11 Euros = 15.6068 U.S. dollars. So how much did your steak cost??
