Located in Herald Square, Keens Steakhouse stands as a testament to New York City’s rich culinary history. Established in 1885 by Albert Keen, the restaurant quickly gained fame for its exquisite steaks and chops. Over the years, Keens became a cherished gathering place for the city’s luminaries, attracting actors, producers, playwrights, publishers, and newspaper men who sought solace and sustenance in its welcoming embrace. Within its walls, one can still catch a glimpse of the past and revel in the enduring charm that has made Keens a cherished landmark for generations. Keens has 90,000 clay pipes that line the ceilings – pipes once smoked by customers after dinner.
