Little has changed at downtown’s long-running steakhouse, which since 1962 has lured carnivorous devotees to luxurious, distinctly clubby surroundings. Fans hail the superb dry-aged steaks paired with wines from a significant cellar, as well as delectable cheese bread, served foil-wrapped with unapologetic practicality. The ongoing half-centenary menu features classics such as steak Diane and chateaubriand, which truly capture the enduring essence of Hy’s Encore.—Tim Pawsey
