 I was at Costco earlier this year and I saw a 3 pack of choice NY that was so marbled it could have passed for cheap wagyu. Incredible looking. They were the best steaks I've ever had from Costco including filets or ribeye. 

The major issue I have with Costco (locally) - cuts are all mechanically tenderized....

Rather buy a whole portion and cut it to my specs - if vacuum sealed then it has not been tenderized

The meat is no longer manually tenderized because of several unfortunate instances where workers got a little too handsy with the meat....

I haven't, but ill have to check it out next time I'm in the area. I usually spend most of my time in Morristown and Bernardsville.  

Not sure if it's still there because my family left the area so I haven't been back in 6 years. It's a decent Chinese place but Wednesday or Thursday nights they'd have world class jazz acts that only cost you the price of dinner. Owner had some connect with the jazz world and would scoop acts that were blowing through Lincoln Center on the weekends to play a few sets earlier in the week.

Nusr-et has to be the worst rip off joke steak house in the industry.  I would not want to eat there again if someone else was paying.

My parents grew up in Mendham and Madison, most of my Dad's side of the family still live in Bernardsville and Basking Ridge. I know the area very well and it will always feel like home. 

Small world… I grew up in Bridgewater, family still lives there and in Bernardsville. I’m up there, and NE PA with my wife’s family, several times a year.

As LLC has already stated. The bone in rib-eye is duh best. Next question.

How did this thread get so far without anyone mentioning a Peter Luger's "Steak for 2" Porterhouse!

Di and I love this steak. I don't go out often for steak, but when I do it is to Moda. 

Bistecca alla Fiorentina for two.  We might be having it later today.

Filet/tenderloin takes the cake for me most consistently -- it's my go-to.

I am also very partial to hanger steak (when I can find it). Probably more flavorful assuming I can find it. Many butchers/grocers here don't consistently stock it. Bone-in short ribs, flanken cut with a good 2-3 inches of meat beyond the bone are also very good. Picanha is nice when you can find it. I have had a couple of "Denver" or "Zabuton" steaks recently, both at a restaurant and just off the shelf at local meat market, which have been pretty good.

On any given day I will reach for filet, though. That's what we just grabbed and grilled yesterday, for example!
