New York

Holy Ground (holygroundnyc.com) delivers its twin themes of smoke and meat in a modern-day speakeasy. Hit the swank TriBeCa steakhouse and tuck in to beef jerky and barbecued brisket or prime rib. Grab a seat at Manhatta (manhattarestaurant.com), the latest addition to Danny Meyer’s empire, for stunning views from the 60th floor of a downtown skyscraper and a menu of French-inspired classics.
