Smith & Wollensky steakhouse is about 3-4 blocks from the Waldorf. It's two restaurants in one: Smith & Wollensky in front and Wollensky's Grill in the back. The grill has a very large bar area which has full menu service; there is also table service if you prefer that. Generally not a problem to get a table (especially early) or to find a spot at the bar. Very good food--much better than the S&W's in other parts of the country. New York is the original.
