If you are seeking a great steak in the sceney Meatpacking District, you can't go wrong with Marble Lane, the restaurant smack in the middle of the lobby of the Dream Downtown Hotel. The Dream Downtown is one of NYC's hot spots, housing multiple spaces to get your party on. If you, or any of your model friends, are actually eating before you go party, a steak at Marble Lane, would suit you just fine. The one I had, a Cowboy Bone-In Ribeye ($65), with chili dust, lemon butter, and roasted garlic, was spot on delicious. Pair it with a side of duck-fat souffle fries, and your night of indulgence will start off just right.
