Tomorrow brings a barrage of commercially contrived lovey-doveyness from your significant other (that is, if you’ve even got one).
Understandably, you’ll be out for blood.
Enormous new steak joint Union Trust opens just in time. With three floors, three private dining rooms, and room to seat 450, it’s a cavernous meat party.
The original bank has been converted into the eponymous restaurant to make the block between Seventh and Eighth on Chestnut the sorta-downtown answer to Del Frisco’s and Butcher & Singer.
With eighteen sparkling wines by the glass, 400 wines (drink the Sea Smoke pinot noir), a dry-aged “meat flight” for four, the biggest long-bone rib-eye ever, non-milk-fed pink veal, and a marble charcuterie and raw bar, it’s intense.
But pretty bloody great.
Union Trust, 717 Chestnut Street (215-925-6000 or uniontruststeakhouse.com).
