Prime Meats

This rustic spot, a neighborhood favorite of Bon Appetit editor Andrew Knowlton’s, dishes out hearty, German-inflected fare in a wood-and-brick dining room. A project from Frank Castronovo and Frank Falcinelli’s of Frankies Spuntino fame just up the street, you can rely on Prime Meats for impeccably mixed cocktails, house-made pretzels with butter and Bavarian sweet mustard and exquisite slabs of dry-aged meat. After a day of wandering about the neighborhood and ogling its beautiful brownstones, it’s the perfect place to refuel among the couples and families who actually reside in them.
