Inside
the Le Parker Meridien Hotel; 118 W. 57th St (bet 6th &
7th Ave); Midtown; 212-708-7414; Avg $6
One of the juiciest $4.50 burgers that you'll find in New
York. Hidden away in Le
Parker Meridien hotel lobby, this coffee-shop-style local
is filled at lunch with the midtown work crowd, but you have
to find it first so just ask at the door. Thick milkshakes
and crispy fries are also on the menu. Who knew Le Parker
Meridien was hiding so sweet a secret behind their elegant
facade?
Corner
Bistro
331 W. 4th St @ Jane St; W. Village; 212-242-9502; Avg
$5
The Corner Bistro's highlight is the "Bistro Burger"
- a legendary broiled beef patty topped with cheese and several
strips of bacon packed between a sesame-seed bun. All of
this for only $5.50. There may be a line at this dingy tavern,
but the burgers are well worth the wait. The burgers are praised
as the best in town, so get there early, enjoy $2 draft beer
while you wait for your burger and crisp, tasty fries.
P.J. Clark's
915 3rd Ave @ 55th St; E. Midtown; 212-317-1616; Avg $6
This East Side saloon, having recently undergone structural
renovations by its new owners, including actor Timothy Hutton,
has not lost it's appeal. It remains a draw to all types,
the after-work crowd, the trendy partygoers, and even a slightly
older group all seeking to enjoy P.J.'s celebrated, signature
juicy bacon cheeseburger and home fries. Make sure to finish
the meal with an order of cheesecake.
Paul's
Place
131 2nd Ave @ St Marks St (8th St);
E. Village; 212-529-3033; Cash Only; Avg $6
There are over twenty-plus options for burgers (like the blue
cheese burger). It's a juicy, rich burger that Paul's Place
serves, with this place size matters (the burgers we mean!).
The clown and airplane toys swirling about overhead give this
diner a friendly vibe.
Pop
Burger
58-60 9th Ave (bet 14th - 15th St); Meatpacking; 212-414-8686;
Avg $5
Pop Burger is a study in contrasts. Burger joint by day, lounge
by night, you'll find a cross between fast-food-service meal
options mixed with pricey martinis and red banquette lounge
seating. Shoot some pool, grab a mini sirloin burger and a
serving of lobster nachos, and relax in this meatpacking district
spot that can pack a crowd anytime.
