Lobel's Kitchen (CLOSED)

Plying high-end meats on the Upper East Side since 1951, the iconic Lobel butcher clan branches out with a satellite shop focused on prepared entrées, sandwiches and sides. Snag a stool at the curved double-height counter for Lobel’s hefty sammies, introduced at its Yankee Stadium stand: braised osso buco piled on ciabatta, a rotisserie chicken triple-decker and its signature Wrangler steak drizzled with creamy tarragon-horseradish sauce. The oak-paneled eatery teems with carne porn, with food stations showcasing smoked brisket, pork ribs and meat loaf available for catering, as well as just-butchered cuts like dry-aged porterhouse and veal chops vacuum-sealed to take home.
