New York is a one of the best places for burger lovers. In my opinion, the best burgers in New York are found in:

P.J. CLARKE’S
A restaurant with dark wood paneling, a jukebox, a little noisy, good beer… and excellent burgers!

SHAKE SHACK
Lovely messy and greasy burgers in Madison Square Park. It’s in front of the Flatiron building.

BURGER JOINT (Le Parker Meridien Hotel)
“The hidden burger”. Located inside a 5 star hotel this amazing tiny burger shop has possibly the best burgers in town. Tip: I like to buy my burger and then eat it in Central Park (three blocks away)
