CitySearch Tips

Know Before You Go

The steaks come in three sizes: huge, gargantuan and ridiculous. Order accordingly.

What to Drink

Vodka will come to your table frozen in ice. Be careful drinking it though: Sammy's charges dearly for it.

The Extras

The chopped liver is a whole show, with the waiter mixing all the ingredients tableside.

FourSquare Tips

  • The Corcoran Group
    Jewish comfort food with a lot of kitsch. The chopped liver and the egg creams are delicious.
  • Jcrowley
    One of the most fun dinners I've had. Guy on the piano is incredible. You'll end up eating more food than you can imagine, drinking more vodka than humanly possible, and dancing with total strangers!
  • Advertising Week
    A guaranteed good time filled w delicious Roumanian food. Be sure to try out the chopped liver! When was the last time you heard someone say *that*?!
  • jake f.
    Say it's your friend's Bar Mitzvah. Better yet, say it's his Bris. You will not regret this decision.
  • Jeana C.
    You walk in with a mediocre first impression. You walk out feeling it's one of the most underrated places in Downtown NYC. A gem!

    Dani Love is a bad motherfucker
  • Richard B.
    They hAve alka selter at the door for a reason.... Use it
  • Find. Eat. Drink.
    It's not about the food, it's the overall experience. Get the souped-up chopped liver. Yes, Dani Luv is schmaltzy, but he's got a funny schtick.
  • Curt K.
    Schmaltz!!
  • Roger E.
    Try the chopped liver, stuffed cabbage and rib steak. And needless to say, the vodka in ice for the total experience!
