Knife and Fork Inn

Standing at the intersection of Albany, Atlantic and Pacific Avenues, this 100-year-old whitewashed Flemish-style eatery screams landmark. Originally a private club frequented by the likes of Enoch “Nucky” Johnson, the real-life prohibition boss who inspired Boardwalk Empire’s Nucky Thompson, the Knife and Fork is owned by the same clan behind Dock’s Oyster House. The culinary focus here is divided between steak and seafood, with standouts like lobster Thermidor.
