Burger

  • Resto

    It took me a long time, but I finally made it to Resto. Situated just inside Park Avenue on 29th Street, Resto is a beautiful thing. Many tables for two line the wall and tables for four or more are spread around the restaurant. Tucked inside a novel, the beer list features a number of… Read more

  • Back Forty West

    If you’ve ever walked around the east village, you probably know about Back Forty. They throw an awesome crab boil party every summer and boast an excellent burger. I’ve eaten at Back Forty a number of times and have walked away from the meals feeling quite satiated. But, sorry to say, that’s not the case… Read more

  • And it’s not just the fresh ingredients that will keep customers coming back for me. It’s the gracious hospitality with which customers are met. So, even if you’re not from Queens, you definitely want to check out F. Ottomanelli’s Burgers and Belgian Fries. They’re top-of-the-notch and possibly the best in the borough. Read more

  • Elevation Burger, Chelsea

    New to Manhattan, Elevation Burger serves up decent organic, grass-fed hamburgers and fries cooked in olive oil. Read more

  • Overall, the food was fine at burgers and cupcakes, but not worth going out of the way for. Read more

  • Astor Bake Shop, Astoria

    Situated on the outskirts of Astoria, Astor Bake Shop may seem out-of-the-way to the average person. I assure you that the 10-minute walk from the train is completely worth it. Astor Bake Shop is a small, many-windowed cafe with cute wooden tables and chairs. An enticing and appetizing display case filled with baked goodies faces… Read more

  • No, this review is not about the Junior’s on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn. We tried the Junior’s in Times Square, fitted with ample outdoor/indoor seating that is constantly filled. Why would a New Yorker go to such a place? I’m almost certain we were the only non-tourists in our section, if not the entire restaurant.… Read more

  • Milk Burger may not be an original concept, but it delivers a solid burger at an excellent price. Read more

  • I had heard good things about Smashburger. Some say its burgers rival those of the Shake Shack. Naturally, I was intrigued. Now that I’ve tried it, “overly hyped” and “why isn’t my cheese melted” are the only phrases that come to mind. The ordering experience is slightly disorienting at Smashburger. You are directed to take… Read more

  • Wow, Atlantic City. Land of the depressed. I hope to never return to Atlantic City, unless, of course, someone buys me tickets to see Jerry Seinfeld on August 13. Then, I’d go back. (Damn, it’s sold out.) We went to Atlantic City with a goal in mind: to see Wanda Sykes perform at the Borgata.… Read more
