Peter Luger: Famous for over 100 years.

We dined at Peter Luger in Brooklyn. It was too early to split an $86 porterhouse for two, so everyone ordered a no-frills Luger hamburger ($9.50) with cheese ($1.50) and a thick cut of bacon ($4). We finished our meal with a Luger's special "Holy Cow" hot fudge sundae ($10).
