Trying THE PALM in NYC! Is This Celebrity Hotspot Worth The Hype?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 вер 2024
- The Palm Restaurant has a long and storied history spanning almost 100 years. The original location, as well as its spinoff restaurant across the street, Palm Too, were known for great steaks, seafood, and for attracting many celebrity clientele. Many considered it one of the best steaks in NYC, as well as a great spot for Italian American food. Unfortunately, the original two Palm Restaurant locations closed a few years ago, and a century of history went with them.
Fortunately though, The Palm still exists through a new owner! They were purchased around the time their first two restaurants went kaput, and they are now owned by a restaurant group that has kept all the other Palm locations around. Now The Palm restaurant group has restaurants all over the world. From The Palm Las Vegas location, to even The Palm Saudi Arabia location, there are still several Palm locations around! Today though, we try the Palm West location, which is on the outskirts of Times Square.
The Palm, at least The Palm West in Times Square, still attracts many celebrities. Hugh Jackman frequents the place, and Liam Neeson also was once a regular. Even though it's no longer the original, is The Palm still an iconic NYC restaurant? Or are its best days behind it with the closing of its original two locations? Let's find out together if one of NYC's most iconic restaurants is still worth the hype!

Some of these comments are pretty mean guys. He's not claiming to be an expert just some dude who eats and tells us his opinion.
Agreed. He generally does a great job....though I do still give him sh*t when he wears a mask! 😅
@peterjabattack1 yes thank you! Someone gets it!
Yup... Just a dude who likes to eat. Chill out on the rudeness
The only thing weirder than the fact that I like to watch a random guy eat lunch on youtube is the idea that any of us are doing this "wrong"
I 100% SUPPORT UA!👏👍
One of my favorite UA-camrs! It would be so cool to go to one of the spots you have reviewed!
Thank you! Hey perhaps you will make it to one of them someday! I try to film in a way so the viewer feels what it's like to dine at these places, so hopefully my videos will suffice until then
😂 you tried to switch menu specials after you ordered. 😂😂😂 the best.
The waiter was ready for it.😂
lol yeah not a great idea to ever do that...don't want to make the kitchen angry
What a cheap ass!
I knew you were going to mention Gallaghers when you panned up the street at Times Square! Best lunch deal ever and great service! Love their brown walnut bread, yum 😋
Roasted garlic and steak are 🔥 together. Glad you got to experience it.
I enjoy my frugal home alternative: Chargrilled boneless highly-marbled NY Strip Steak seared medium-rare placed on an 8-inch golden-toasted buttered sweet French Garlic Loaf then TEAR INTO IT like a ravenous glutinous carnivore and wash it all down with a chilled bottle of German imported extra dark Spaten Optimator Beer!😋
Yes I baste my home steak 🥩 with garlic 🧄 butter 🧈 just as an aside I was not impressed with the way the server explained things
had great roasted garlic hummus w oil and garlic topping from the store
Your videos always make me hungry. I'm really glad you venture out on a variety of foods. Keep on eating.
never cared to go to new york til I found UA’s channel. my new favorite channel
You are definitely the most underrated food reviewing channel, my brother.
Look who's back.
Back again.
UA's back.
Tell a friend
Now this look like a job for me
So everybody, just follow me...
That’s my jam !!! LOL
@@uaeats😅😅😊😊
@@uaeatsyou're a good guy , come up to westchester county sometime . First county north nyc
@@uaeats we don't need anchovis controversy,
youtube feels so empty without me
New subscriber here! Appreciate your content! Keep going !
Hey UA. Hope to run into you whenever I get back to NYC.. LOVE the videos. Keep up the awesome work 👏
If you run into me definitely don't hesitate to say hi!
Your channel is so good! Thank you for taking us to all of these restaurants. The food looks delicious!
UA! Good review buddy. The steak looked more medium but still in the ballpark. That garlic would have been great on some nice bread. Margaritaville is over on 7th Ave. I think. Thanks man . TC 👋🏽
Back in the day i was a frequent diner at Palm 1 & 2 on 2nd ave...the steaks were outstanding & also had some of the best Veal Parm ever..the place had old world atmosphere..grizzled old time waiters..don't ever remember a menu being shown, just order what you knew they had..walls had peeling faded paint with old drawings of some stars not as cartoony & flashy as the modern day versions.sawdust on the floors....the 4 lb lobsters were insane ..really loved the grit and atmosphere of the place..miss it a lot..NYC has changed quite a bit since but, the memories of those steaks remain...Truly a 4-star legendary place in its day...
nice sir, really liked your objective food review. One of a kind.
I took a bread course. One class was pizza. Everyone one of us made a pizza with anchovies. You are not alone in your love of pizza with anchovies. 😊
Anchovies pizza is the best :)
That Caesar salad looked to die for.
As always, another wonderful review UA. It looked good, but I guess it looked better than tasted. For having Italian roots, the sauce didn't look appealing. The salad did look amazing.
I didn't know that Boston Market has any open locations but agree you should review.
Wishing you and Tina a great rest of your night and look forward to your next review
I think there is one left in NJ. I will try to get to it ASAP before it goes under...

Outstanding UA-cam video UA, I actually ate at the Palm in Las Vegas. It was good from what I remember. Please keep making those videos I love them 😁👍
I have fond memories of the original Palm on 2nd Ave. A throwback to old school New York.
woot!! UA is back at it! 👏
Enjoy your meal! Thanks for this video UA
The Washington, DC Palm back in the 80s and 90s was the best steak and seafood restaurant in the DMV. It was THE place to be seen if you were a politician, lobbyist, lawyer or business executive. It had a real New York irreverence about it that made it unique, particularly in a stuffy city like DC. Tommy and Ray Jacomo ran the place and hired the best waiters ever. I miss those good ole days.
You do great in-depth reviews.
Love that giant first bite of steak you took. A true professional. I definitely would have added a small bit of sauce to the first bite of parm though
you cant eat right from the cow cut it in half and cook it
Looked just ok. I’ve been to the River Palm in NJ. That place is excellent. Thanks for sharing.
I had dinner at The Palm in Buckhead Atlanta years ago, it was fantastic.
Hey UA! We went to the palm last December right before going to see Wicked. We were able to walk right in without a reservation and sit in the bar area. Thought the food was solid and service pretty good.
Could you consider trying out Emilio’s Ballato? Love the videos. Keep doing your thing!
I used to always go with my father here as a kid before or after a knicks game and got 4 pound lobsters. This brings me back.
The problem with the steak is not that it is wet aged, the problem is that it is very poorly seared, and no sear at all on the bottom. I would have returned it.
Wow. Love your shows UA! BTW The Palm has been my favorite restaurant steak ever! Dont live in the US so have not had the chance to try out many other steak houses yet!
1:56 UA Eats Hello, I am Korean and my name is Choi Mimi. I subscribed and liked it. 😍🙏💗
Great review. I’d give this place a try. That park looked great. I can’t believe that I’ve never seen a garlic clove used like that on steak. Usually roast it to make garlic bread, but this is a whole new experience. Thanks for the vid UA.
you're a real missing the forest for the trees type of guy
UA excellent review. May I ask that you try an Argentinian restaurant for your review ? Try La Fusta in NJ. Great place. Looking forward to your review . As always keep up the great work !!
Ive been to the original way back in the 70s and it was great.
I love anchovies ❤that salad looks so appetizing. I like anchovies & pineapple on my pizza thin pizza❤
I ate at the Palm in Tribeca (west street) several times about ten years ago (before it closed, obviously) and I loved their salads. It was great. (And PS - I LOVE LOVE LOVE carrot cake - that looked like really good carrot cake too).
Tried to switch up the special he ordered mid meal! Classic UA! Love it!
The pasta looked good the steak didn’t look any better than what I grill at home. 👍
Been to the original twice. My job at the time was 3 blocks from it and my bosses took the staff there for lunch. Great times, great food, miss both the job and the original Palm. I’m going to have to try this new Palm, maybe take a date I really like there sometime.
851st 👍! Hi UA! Awesome review! Thanks for bringing me here! I sure do enjoy your detailed experience! Also I shared to my Facebook page
Great video as always!! Could you someday go back to trying sushi restaurants? I discovered you doing sushi nakazawa
Like a rhinestone cowboy? :D // appreciate your honesty on the review!
Restaurant week is like “Sampler week”. It’s not a cheaper rate just for the sake of being cheaper. It’s actually usually less food, or fewer options (as in the case of a churrascaria)
Sear on that steak was not good probably broiled. I love garlic but I think it would go better on toasted bread. A great steak should stand on its own.
A first class review with all high end choices would be interesting
Fun Fact, their chicken parm uses Munster cheese, they have a Ribeye at Dinner which is great. This place and S&W are my favorites...
Soon UA will be on the wall❤
UA. It looks pretty good. I don’t know if I would ever go there to eat because it’s expensive for some food that’s so so. But I love your videos and I would never know about this place if it wasn’t for your video.
Put some of that garlic on your chicken parm. Add more parm like a lot, maybe black pepper ❤
I ate at the original Palm. Great food and awesome seafood tower.
Everything looks great with really good portions too.Love your food reviews…keep up the great stuff UA!!! You are now a celebrity I see.You got recognized on the street🏆well done!!!
Yeah it was cool to meet a fan!
I forgot about it being restaurant week. You still haven't reviewed Empire Steakhouse on the Eastside on 50th Street. It's the best!💯
That carrot cake looks killer.
The lunch special on second ave at the original location was an NYC gem. Add a lobster and you had an extravagant experience. The Hamptons location was also good. Even before Palm Too. Now it is like going to Morton's or Flemings. Not bad but not local.
That looks like a proper Caesar salad. I made these tableside in fine dinner houses as a Captain, from the original Tijuana Mexico recipe.
UA,,, do you think you put enough garlic on that steak? lol..... I love you ate it hot and talked about it later. Thank you for another honest and great video! I trust what you say,,,,,,,
Palm is good. They have on in Nashville, so I’ve been to a few all over USA and it feels the same.
The roasted garlic would be good on some bread and also add to yr underseasoned pasta marinara.
Love your video man wish u come to Vancouver,Canada and I will take to some places for u to review.
I've been told you have the best sushi in north America. Have an opinion?
I always order Chicken Parm as my side dish at the Palm. I love the preparation and the flavor. Overly sweet sauce means low quality. They actually use Muenster for the cheese. That restaurant week steak is not their typical cut and quality compared to the regular menu.
I've been to The Palm in Atlantic City which was located at the Tropicana Casino. I've ordered the Caesar Salad which they prepared tableside. I remember our waiter asking us if we like anchovies in our Caesar Salad, to which we answered with a resounding YES! After which, our waiter added whole filets of anchovies in the salad bowl as he prepared our freshly made Caesar Salad. It was the best Caesar Salad I have ever eaten! I would definitely go back just for that awesome Caesar Salad!
Love this channel ❤
That steak is a perfect medium.
You have to go to Belmont Tavern in Jersey! Old school Italian spot. Home of the chicken savoy dish. They have an amazing shrimp dish but I know you can’t have it :(
I’ve been to the palm in Atlantic City and thought it was very good
How did the Caesar salad compare to the one at Golden Steer in Vegas?
My nephews and nieces love Tonys. MEH
They remember going to the herald square location during a blizzard probably a decade ago. We still meet up on the UES location occasionally. My folks live on East End Avenue. Dad’s turning 90 in October. Probably Tonys again 😣
Looks solid!
Hi UA there was just NY then they opened an outlet in Miami always had a good meal they had giant 5-7 lb lobsters cooked differently and good steaks . Then they got bought out by a restaurant group that opened up a bunch of locations even one after security in terminal 5 at Kennedy Airport . Was never the same after the family sold out . But not bad . Still love your Chanel . Keep up the great work 👍🏻😊. RK
Wrong!
Usually your videos get recommended right away, this one is a few days old before I saw it on my TL. Is the Algo turning on UA?
That chicken Parm looks delicious.omg
The roasted garlic is a nice touch. But the steak has that light pink/grey colour that I associate with cheap steaks that have been manipulated with water. That would also explain the lack of a sear. EDIT: just got to the part where he says it's "wet aged". So I was right, that's just a fancy way of saying they sucked it full of water and charged you for the extra weight as if it was a bigger steak.
@@SeraphimLeo
Looked as bland as could be .needed that garlic gook to eat it.
you should not eat raw meat or raw fish amny sick or die
@@rogerrosen2323 Depends on the quality and freshness of the meat. There is such a thing as Sushi and steak tartare.
Love the corny puns UA keep them coming 😂😂 and keep up the great reviews and honesty!
UA you must got to House of Prime Rib in San Francisco!
You kidding? Anchovies on Pizza is the BEST! :)
Jesus I can’t believe this joint closed it was good in 90s and Vegas was good too I’m sure pandemic had something to do with it Thanks again sleepy Joe
Food looks great, but I just won't pay those prices for food. I'd much rather get top-notch ingredients and prepare my own food.
Since you like anchovies check out Song E Napule (they have 3 locations in NYC and one in NJ) and try their MARINARA STARITA or the Napoletana. You won’t be disappointed. 👌🏼
Why would there be chicken in a ceasar salad???
Love the vid bro! If you dont mind me asking, what do you use to film your videos? And do you have a mic?
It's cool to see the extra stuff they give you and to get and understanding of what they're putting out there. In this case they're definitely trying to put a solid foot forward and this overall says alot. Definitely says the carrot cake would be a good try at The Palm. Also let's be honest, every extra item getting reviewed is just another UA reviewed item.
Too bad the original location closed down as well as Palm Too on 2nd Ave. Back in the day (I'm talking 1950s & 60s) they were the steakhouses to be at along with the Pen & Pencil, Sparks, Crist Cella. They were all located on the east side on and around 2nd & 3rd Ave from 44th to 46th streets. They were frequented by beat writers for the NY Times, Daily News and others (their offices were on 42nd street). The wait staff were predominantly Italian immigrants. Those were the days.
owh man roasted garlic, thats a side on a steak i tend to always make at home as well, just cook them in their skin slowly untill they have turned to mush on the inside, and spread it like a little peace of butter on your steak, simply lovely.
There are a few steakhouses that serve roasted garlic with their steaks. Have you tried the Strip House for steak? They have great steaks there with roasted garlic. Their mashed potatoes and creamed spinach are to die for too.
Yeah but you have to dive right into a chix parma so I hope you checked it out before it dried out.
Anchovies Rule!
Love garlic, but garlic overload I think. Your videos and commentary are becoming more refined. Enjoyable to watch your reviews, as they are very natural. And yes, dry aged is better than wet aged IMHO.
Good to see you’re making videos again after the divorce 😢
She got fed up with his terrible puns and flew back to China.
He was married? What happened 🥴
I came here for "why don't we."
Come here, why don't u
If you're doing a Texas BBQ, I recommend you try Barbs-B-Q and Redbird BBQ and order a full tray. They're the #1 BBQ in the U.S.A., and #1 Cajun BBQ in Texas, respectively.
I recommend watching Ant's BBQ Cookout video "I Tried the Best New BBQ Spot in the U.S.A." and "I Tried the #1 Cajun BBQ in Texas."
Lunch specials are usually smaller portions that’s how you get the lower price. There are no deals to be had these days.
I didn’t notice if you were given bread. Usually you squeeze the roasted garlic onto the bread, but on the steak it great too…
GARLIC RULES😅
Wow two people could share those portions!
I think the one in DC closed years ago. I remember my father loved taking us there but at one point we stopped going and I’m pretty sure it was because the restaurant closed.
thank you dude!
There is one in Tysons Corner in VA - where I'm at. Also at Tropicana in AC.
The palm has best lobster in city, missed having saw dust on the floor at original and palm 2
