fave burger in NYC?
okay, since we always get so many people on here asking for places to eat, stay, see, etc in the city, I've decided to take on the task of making an NYC Bio. So, I'll be asking you for a new favorite every day (at least I'll try for every day) and accumulating it all in one place.
I've decided to start with burgers... beef, veggie, turkey, salmon, whatever. Sit-down or take-out, dive or fancy, as long as it's within the 5 boroughs. (just try to give me a little info so I can include what kind of place it is on the bio)
Where's your fave burger?
Re: fave burger in NYC?
helene - you're awesome for taking on the nyc bio. and i haven't been to the red cat and now must put it at the top of my list!
i think rare has one the best burgers in nyc and their truffle fries are to die for. i also like the burger at hundred acres.
Dumont

Williamsburg
It's more upscale than a typical burger joint (although Dumont Burger fits that need) but man-oh-man is the burger worth it. A decadent meal of oysters on the half shell followed by a burger is a treat. Follow it with a Sazarac and it's a night not to be forgotten.
forgot to tell you about them - chelsea grill & hundred acres both have plenty of other entree options, salads, pastas, etc... hundred acres is a bit more upscale, local, farm fresh ingredients.
rare is primarily burgers and beef (ie. not the best place to bring a vegetairian)
thanks, it might take me a while but I think we need one pretty desperately.
I started a list about this not too long ago! I'll be adding some of the recs here!
Anyway...I like Shake Shack or Corner Bistro.

Oh.....great idea!!
Sheep Station in Park Slope (I know, I know, bragging about my neighborhood again, but...) has an amazing burger that is available as a veggie burger or regular beef.
It's called the Shearer's Burger and its topped with beets, pineapple, fried egg, lettuce, tomato and onion. I know it sounds crazy...but its sooo good. well, as long as you can get your mouth around it! lol
Sheep Station is a cool Australian pub style restaurant.
It's nothing fancy, but I like Paul's Burgers in the East Village. They have lots of selection on both beef and turkey burgers.
DH and I also love an occasional burger from Five Guys. I know it's a chain, but it is still good food. Nothing crazy, just basic burger and fries.

I love 5 Napkin Burger (fivenapkinburger.com). It's in 45th and 9th. Also, their onion rings are the bomb!
I don't even know the name of it but it's in the lobby of Le Parker Meridian hotel. It is a dive and they take cash only. But it's a hidden jem! The walls are covered completely with famous people who have eaten there. I also love Shake Shack.
I also love Dumont in Brooklyn. However, the crowd is sometimes a bit pretentious.
PS) You are awesome to take this on. I tried doing the same thing about two years ago and didn't get very far.
Here is a link to the nest blog I tried to start:

You might be able to use some of the language for this for your general NYC travel advice. Also, there are some NYC girls on the Travel board who don't post here. It might be nice to ask them to start populating this board and answer some of your posts. :-)
I've never been, but my DH loves Dumont. He said it was the best burger he ever had. lol
thanks Jen! I'll have to make sure to include the travel tips on there, and then I'll venture over to the Travel board and ask them to venture over and start helping out.
I like Thunder Jackson's Dirty Burger (it is their specialty...yum!) and Soup and Burgers
