Founded in 1827, Delmonico’s, New York’s infamous restaurant, put this cut on the map as an unmistakable dish. It’s no big surprise that the steakhouse bears NYC’s own name.

New York strip is the most popular term in the U.S. used to refer to a strip steak. The cut got the name "New York strip" from a nearly 200-year-old steakhouse called Delmonico's in New York City.
