Bowery Meat Company
Thanksgiving Feast
Thursday, November 26, 2026
For more than 12 years, Bowery Meat Company has been a fixture of downtown New York dining, offering a contemporary interpretation of the classic American steakhouse. Owner John McDonald and Executive Chef David DiSalvo share a passion for discovering and sourcing exceptional beef, continually seeking out distinctive breeds, producers, and cuts from across the United States and around the world.
Their approach is driven by a simple philosophy: great ingredients, thoughtfully prepared, with an appreciation for the people and places behind them.
“The most imposing of the meats is the veal chop, thick and quartz-pink… a terrific solution to the boredom sometimes caused by plain broiled lumps of animal muscle.”

While steak remains at the heart of the restaurant, Bowery Meat Company has developed a loyal following for dishes that have become signatures over the years, particularly its celebrated duck lasagna. A carefully curated wine list, featuring both renowned producers and lesser-known discoveries, is equally central to the experience.
More than a decade after opening, Bowery Meat Company remains committed to the same principles that established its reputation: exceptional food, great wine, and genuine New York hospitality.
There are two private rooms. The Bowery Room, behind its own curtain off the dining room, seats up to 36 at long tables under a mural of a propeller plane over Manhattan. The Wine Room, just off the bar and surrounded by the cellar, seats up to 16. The restaurant also hosts large tables in the main room and full buyouts, with custom menus built around the occasion.
Founded in 1993 by John McDonald with the opening of MercBar, Mercer Street Hospitality is a New York City hospitality group with deep roots in SoHo. Its restaurants include Lure Fishbar in New York and Chicago, Bowery Meat Company, Bar Mercer, Smyth Tavern, Galerie Bar, and Seahorse, Guardian Bar and the Living Room at the corner of the landmark Guardian Life Building in Union Square. For more than thirty years the group has kept to one idea: create places people want to return to, again and again.
Steak, chops and a serious cellar, since 2014. Menu by David DiSalvo. Where you are now.
