Acclaimed Brooklyn steakhouse Peter Luger thinks it’s found a way to make indoor dining at 35 percent a little less awkward. Following in the footsteps of the, the one-Michelin-starred steakhouse has outfitted its main dining room with celebrity mannequins as part of an inventive, and somewhat creepy, partnership with Madame Tussauds New York.
