One thing I remember is that everyone is in a hurry, so don't dawdle, know where you are going and get there efficiently. Also, don't gawk, look up at tall buildings or otherwise, act like a tourist, there are predators that look for tourists.
That said, you mentioned Peter Luger and I was just reading about the restaurant yesterday. It is considered the best steak in America by some, including Gourmet Magazine:

If you've ever tasted the difference between a buttery, silky textured, nearly sweet, age-inflected steak and the chewy, faintly flavored mediocrity that usually passes for prime steak, you're undoubtedly reluctant to settle for the latter. Sadly, however, you'll most likely have to, as there's far from enough superlative steak produced in this country to satisfy demand. Oh, the intrepid steak-seeker achieves bliss every once in a grezat while at the very best places-but not often enough to prevent the phrase "consistent steak house" from practically attaining oxymoron status.
That's why Peter Luger, established in Brooklyn in 1887, continues to surprise me. Six recent visits confirmed an impression I'd gathered over the years-and a reputation no one seems willing to dispute: Peter Luger maintains a level of steak quality that is simply unmatched in America.
Read the article at the link, it gives you tips on what to expect like, reservations, for prime time you may have to wait weeks. Also, the menu is bare bones, but everything is the best. You order steak by the number of people in your group and the is no differentiation in cuts.
Plus, and this is a biggie, they do not accept credit cards, except their own, Peter Luger card.
