If you are looking for a great steakhouse in New York City and you have not given the Palm Restaurant of NYC a try yet, you should make your reservations today.  The Palm is one of the oldest family-owned restaurants to expand across the United States and boasts two New York City locations among its empire of over twenty-five restaurants.  Te Palm Restaurant of NYC is located in most major metropolitan markets and is frequented by many celebrities because of its fine dining and accommodating service.

Though it was not originally a focal point on the menu, the Palm Restaurant of NYC has become known for their prime steaks and outsized lobsters.  In fact, steaks were not even on the menu and when they were ordered, the chef would individually buy one and cook it to order.  This dedication to customer satisfaction caused the Italian restaurant to become a steakhouse.  In addition to the menu full of appetizers, pastas, steaks, veal, seafood, vegetables and salads, there are two house specialties.  Those two specialties live true to the current concept of the restaurant and include a Double Steak, which is a 36 ounce New York Strip served for two and the Jumbo Maine Lobsters which are three pounds or larger.  Reservations are recommended for the Palm Restaurant of NYC if you want to make one of these specialties your dinner.      

As you enter the Palm Restaurant of NYC, one of the first things that you notice is its unusual décor.  The walls are covered with hundreds of caricatures of local celebrities, politicians and loyal customers.  This tradition was originally started because there was not enough money to decorate upon opening the store, so local newspapermen were offered a plate of spaghetti in exchange for a drawing.  Originally the Palm was suppose to be called “Parma”, but when they went to get their business license, the thick accents of the original owners caused the restaurants name to be misinterpreted as “Palm”.
