From Monday, March 16 to Sunday, April 12, Morton’s The Steakhouse at both the World Trade Center and Manhattan locations in New York City will offer guests the opportunity to enjoy the $45 Prime & Wine special available in the bar area. This limited engagement features the delicious Million Dollar Burger with a glass of Stag’s Leap Winery, ‘The Investor”, Napa Valley.

Morton’s came into existence today because of its fantastic burgers. Years ago, before co-founders Arnie Morton and Klaus Fritsch really knew one other, they both were employed at the Playboy Club in Montreal. The club was updating their menu, so Klaus cooked a new type of burger for Arnie to try. After taking one bite, Arnie stated that it was the best burger he had ever eaten. From that day forward, they nicknamed Morton’s Prime Burger the “Million-Dollar Hamburger.”

For this special, Morton’s has enhanced this classic dish and created a new menu item called the Million Dollar Burger. The dish features everything from the traditional burger with the addition of decadent foie gras, black truffle butter and braised short ribs all on a tasty brioche bun.

Now more than 3 decades later, Morton’s The Steakhouse has grown to over 70 locations worldwide and is the same today as it was when they opened doors to their first restaurant in Chicago in 1978.

Morton’s The Steakhouse at the World Trade Center is located at 136 Washington Street and the hours of operation for the bar are: Monday – Friday 11:30am – 10pm and Saturday – Sunday 4pm – 10pm. Morton’s The Steakhouse in Manhattan is located at 551 Fifth Avenue and the hours of operation for the bar are: Monday – Friday 11:30am – 11pm and Saturday 4pm – 10pm, and Sunday 5 pm – 10pm.
