Spacious, modern destination for high-end steak & cocktails with glitzy decor & a rooftop patio. If Frank Sinatra broke bread with Tupac, they’d probably meet at Born & Raised. No expense was spared in making this wildly polished, upscale steakhouse that resembles a mid-century, art deco dream lined with black-and-white photos of old-school rap legends, like Eazy-E. There is a glassed-in meat-cutting room in the back; and a lovely, open-air rooftop bar overlooking Little Italy.
Waiters dressed in tuxedos and Converse shoes drift between tables, pushing nostalgic tableside carts where they whip up starters on the spot or pour a drink to order. Certainly, you’re here for the impeccably cooked steaks, but don’t miss the tartare, prepared tableside with quail egg, capers and cornichons (to name just a few embellishments) and served with herbed aïoli.
