STEAK-OUT
COWBOY RIB-EYE
at X2O Xaviars on the
Hudson ($80, serves two)
›
This grilled beast vanquished Bobby Flay,
America’s most celebrated grill master, on Iron
Chef: America in 2007. Need we say more?
Well, we will anyway.
Sporting a red handkerchief, the 40-ounce
rib-eye at X2O Xaviars on the Hudson in
Yonkers lassos some highfalutin treatment after it journeys from the 900-degree broiler to
your table for a warm reception of oohs and
aahs. The steak then disappears for a private
slicing before returning to the table.
It takes two to wrangle this piece of meat
amid the high-ceilinged dining room with
floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the
Hudson. Created by 31-year-veteran restaurateur and Chef Peter X. Kelly, the rib-eye
can also be tackled at Kelly’s Restaurant X
and Bully Boy Bar in Congers, New York.
Kelly ages his steak 21 days and then marinates it in a brown sugar
and cayenne rub for three

for you, a French invasion
via gravy boat of creamy,
tarragon-flecked Béarnaise sauce awaits for
added decadence. Unlike other steak sauces,
this one doesn’t detract from the steak’s rich,
beefy essence.
Also unlike many other steak entrées, the
X2O cowboy rib-eye automatically comes with
two traditional sidekicks, served family-style:
creamed spinach with nutmeg and luxurious
potatoes au gratin covered in bubbly Gruyère.
So, go easy on those introductory mini
French baguettes and blue cheese-chive biscuits served with cold, hard pats of butter. A
wild ride is coming.
AMERICAN WAGYU
RIB-EYE
at BLT Steak ($92)
If any piece of meat is worth $92, it’s the
American Wagyu rib-eye at BLT Steak in
White Plains, where Chef de Cuisine Andy
Schilling presides. Yes, that’s a high price, but
this velvety steak is a special find: the highest
grade (A5 BMS 11 Kagoshima) on offer in the
US and only available at BLT White Plains and
Manhattan. Called the caviar of beef in Japan,
Wagyu indicates cattle breeds of a pure, traceable, and direct bloodline.
“The steak is going to be more tender
than a regular rib-eye because of the way the
cows are treated,” Schilling says. “But the star
of the show is the buttery flavor that comes
from the rich marbleization—the whole idea

melts while it’s broiled at 1,700 °F so that meaty
juices erupt in your mouth as you chew.
Looking for a delicious steak with less sticker shock? Consider the 28-days-aged, naturally
raised Black Angus steaks, such as the New York
strip, either bone-in (20 ounces, $57) or without
bone (16 ounces, $48). That strip is broiled so
well, the fatty end stays buttery after resting on the
table for 20 minutes, without congealing.
While you’re waiting for your perfectly
prepared steak, bask in the rich, modern ambience—complete with gleaming blond-wood
floors and mod but comfy seating—and enjoy
the fluffy-inside, crunchy-outside popovers with
nutty Gruyère baked in that cloud of dough.
And just when you think it can’t get any better,
Pastry Chef Jason Sturdevant’s desserts give
Chef Schilling’s steaks a run for their money.
Opt for melt-in-your-mouth banana and ginger
ice cream or pleasantly sweet and smooth huckleberry sorbet.
behind the Wagyu rib-eye is the rich, creamy,
buttery flavor.”
Schilling serves his American version
of this delicacy with a whole garlic bulb,
crowned with a circular pat of herbed butter.
Any other sauce is an insult. Refrain from the
sacrilege of slathering this regal piece of meat
with any of the eight sauces offered on menu.
There’s a fine-textured mouth-feel to the
rib-eye and no wobbly fat in sight, not even
blanketing the outer edges. The marbling

Brooklyn who experienced no side effects from her required steak research besides excessive deliciousness

Civil War Memorial—Residents living in the
Lake Street neighborhood pass this statue of an
infantryman in Tibbets Park to enter downtown. The front of the 1872 memorial reads:
“To the Soldiers of White Plains who died in the
Service of their Country in the Civil War 186165.” Each side of the memorial lists the names
(approximately 25 total) of the soldiers including Frank Bleakley, Simeon See, and Patrick
Burns. General Ulysses S. Grant would’ve been
proud of you boys.

Heineken USA—The beer titan’s US
headquarters is an awesomely designed
space featuring walls adorned with rows
of LED-lit green Heineken bottles; a
massive inlaid mosaic bottle cap on the
ceiling with lights that rotate in seven
colors; a Wurlitzer jukebox; and a full bar
with an employee happy hour Thursdays
at 4 pm. And they have really cool swag at
their holiday party, so if you ever score an
invite, go!
City Hall—The good news: In 2014, Money
magazine ranked White Plains in their Top 50
Small Cities list and real estate blog Movoto
named White Plains as the third-best place
to live in the state. The bad news: Forbes has
ranked it as one of America’s most expensive cities, citing, among other indicators, the $2,200
cost of renting a two-bedroom apartment.
The Ritz-Carlton, Westchester—This
146-room luxury hotel, where a deluxe room
(one king or two double beds) goes for $349/
night, also features two condominium towers
called The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton,
Westchester, the tallest buildings between
New York City and Boston.
White Plains Performing Arts Center—
Located on the third floor of the City Center,
this 410-seat theater, opened in 2003, has
hosted such performances as All Under
Heaven starring Valerie Harper; If You Ever
Leave Me, I’m Going With You starring Renee
Taylor and Joe Bologna; The Bacon Brothers;
plus family programming including The
Flying Karamazov Brothers, Seussical, and
the Shangri-La Chinese Acrobats.
ArtsWestchester—This nonprofit arts
organization currently celebrating its 50th
anniversary is housed in the nine-story Arts
Exchange, which includes offices; artists’
studios; galleries showcasing local, emerging, and folk artists; and event/performance
space. The 1929 building initially housed the
People’s National Bank & Trust and is one
of only a handful of pre-1930 office buildings (another is the 10-story Bar Building on
nearby Main Street) still standing in the city.
The Galleria at White Plains—Not as spiffy
as The Westchester, nor as moribund as The
White Plains Mall, the fortress-like Galleria
has about 130 stores including anchors Macy’s
and Sears.
The Iron Tomato—Sure, the name sounds
like a rejected character from an Adult Swim
show, but that doesn’t stop residents, shoppers, and the city’s many 9-to-5-ers from
flocking to this café/pizzeria/deli/bakery (try
the chocolate-dipped cannoli cookie sandwich) for casual meals of mega-sandwiches on
Bronx-style breads, create-your-own salads,
and decent sushi.
