Situated in ever-bustling Manhattan is Keens Steakhouse, a fixture in the Garment District. Founded in 1885 by Albert Keen, this location stands as the sole surviving restaurant with direct ties to the days of the former Theater District. Presently, it is the second-oldest steakhouse in New York City after the Old Homestead Steakhouse.

Here, patrons have been served steaks, English mutton chops, and roasts for over a century. Bedecked in old English decor, this softly-lit venue boasts several dining rooms in addition to being home to the Pipe Club.

The Pipe Club began when Keens patrons were given the chance to stow their clay pipes at the restaurant–an effort to prevent the pipes potentially breaking when in tow. Membership in this club included just over 90,000 names, from entertainers to politicians. Today, they own the largest collection of churchwarden pipes in the world.

Today, visitors can see pipes that once belonged to the likes of John Barrymore, Will Rogers, Billy Rose, Florenz Ziegfeld, George M. Cohan, John Drew, Victor Herbert, and many more.

Keens Steakhouse is located at 72 W 36th St., New York, NY 10018.
