LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The Golden Steer Steakhouse has a long and storied history rooted in Las Vegas culture. Now, the steakhouse is set to expand outside the city of neon lights for the first time ever — to New York City.
Golden Steer NYC is bringing their old-school charm to One Fifth Avenue in Greenwich Village, an iconic neighborhood situated in Manhattan, with plans to open this year.
The historic steakhouse has captured the essence of Las Vegas for more than 60 years in more ways than just cuisine, but also through a lasting reputation of quality and atmosphere. They have dined famous (and infamous) legends such as Marilyn Monroe, the Rat Pack, Elvis Presley, Muhammad Ali and even Mafia enforcers such as Tony “The Ant” Spilotro.
Details on the New York menu are sparse, but Golden Steer tells us that it will be similar to Vegas' with elements of New York from new purveyors. If its anything like Vegas, dining at the steer can run you up a steep bill. Some of their most popular dishes are their $21 tableside Caesar salads, Oysters Rockefeller, broiled market lobster tails, flambéed tableside bananas foster and, of course, delectable cuts such as the $275 Tomahawk steak.
Amanda Signorelli, the co-CEO of Golden Steer, spoke with Channel 13, telling us that the New York location will bring the aesthetic of the original — red booths and white table cloths reminiscent of the west and the mob — while paying respect to the rich history of the Village and Big Apple as a whole.

So why New York? The decision to move to the city that never sleeps felt like a no-brainer for the team behind the steer, but that doesn't mean the decision wasn't calculated. Signorelli tells us learning from their guests led to the thoughtful planning of expansion. Over the years they've been in business, Signorelli told us many of their patrons hail from New York City or have strong ties there, and further data supported this — showing that a majority of their clientele comes from three markets: Las Vegas, California and New York.
Channel 13 asked Signorelli if there are plans to expand even further. As of right now, she said New York is the only expansion on the books but dreams of more cities are not without thought, and eyes are even on the horizon for international markets.
New York marks the first physical expansion outside Vegas, but this is not the first "expansion" for the steer. The steakhouse spearheaded the Golden Steer Steak Company in 2020 to bring their premium cuts to the comfort of your home. This was in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which temporarily shut their doors, but it introduced the cuisine to many in the nation. Online, in addition to their steaks, they sell seasonings, butters, gift sets, cookbooks and even cook-along experiences with top-level chefs.
Signorelli tells us the success of their online business played a key factor in their move to the Village. Since its launch, she said the online growth has doubled each year. In addition to the e-commerce, she told us you will soon be able to see local retail products popping up on select shelves for the first time this year.
As for the Golden Steer at One Fifth, Signorelli said to stay tuned for more announcements and pop-up launches ahead of their planned opening in Fall 2025.
A website for New York location is already up and running where eager guests can join their waitlist.
