Thanks. I did not know that.
Also, I meant UWS not UES. Five Napkin Burger is on the UWS!
ISO best burger? I have heard many dif stories.....
I have heard great things about the place hidden behind the curtain at the Parker Meridian hotel on 57th between 6th & 7th.
I have heard they have a great brunch too
Norma's is a restaurant in the hotel, and they do have a phenomenal brunch.
However, the burger joint is a separate place. Across the hall... Hidden.

I like Corner Bistro because it's an authentic old New York bar. And the burgers aren't bad.
But Island Burgers and Shakes on 11th Ave & 51st Street has fabulous, large burgers and terrific shakes. No fries (unfortunately). Really, it's hard to beat.
db Bistro, while good, is kind of fussy for a burger joint. There's one in the Village on Sixth Ave too.
Been to burger joint a few times, not the best, not the worst. Prefer shake shack.

... but I would recommend in my Village neighborhood the Corner Bistro at West 4th Street between West 12th and Jane or BLT Burger at Sixth Avenue near West 12th...
Corner Bistro!
...but now there are a zillion great places. Try Zagat.com
Last time I was at the 21 Club the burger was $21! Yes, I said $21 Efn dollars.
I never said they weren't over-priced! There are now some in NYC that are even more than that!
You are so right Lina, its stuffed with foie graf & beef shortribs, amazing.
DBGB on Bowery
Five Napkin Burger (Hell's Kitchen and UES)
Minetta Tavern in West Village
La Caprice in the Pierre
Enjoy!
There's also a Five Napkin Burger at Bleecker and Seventh
I had no idea there was one there! Thank you SO much. I really, really need one, right about now.
Kisses,

Try The Royale Bar on Ave C and 10th
One of the best bars and burgers to hang out and relax
How about Five Guys Burgers!! I heard Zagat actual rated "Best Burger" last year!! As for locations, these a few in NYC, but I went to 34th & 8th Ave.
I have eaten there many times but not in NYC...it IS a VERY good burger. But I am in search of burger nirvana
1291 3rd Ave am i the only one who knows this? corner bistro is great too
Thanks. I did not know that.

In my opinion, one Five Napkin Burger for Two and two consenting adults is considered a threesome.
cara you and i know where to find the best burger our secret honestly my back yard I cook a mean
burger.
is this the "bootman" that I know and love?
burger.
yes it is my little potato cord. Do you want to come to my next back yard barbeque ?
Only if you wear your uniform 
Although I sing the praises of the 99 cent pizza places all over the city, I just do not have the guts to try the 99 cent burger places. I do not even want to know whether or not there's really meat in 99 cent burger, let alone what kind of meat.
they just opened in Times Square...
1451 Broadway
(41st & Broadway)
If the burgers there are anything like the original location in Santa Monica, then they will soon be recognized as the best in NYC also.
On side note, Cara, we've swapped some emails, and have a mutual friend, but the winds have not yet brought our sails into the same port of call at the same time...
Any chance I can buy you some fries to go with that burger???
well...what about in and out burger???
"Any chance I can buy you some fries to go with that burger??? "
you mean fries to go with that shake?
But right now, my $ is spent at The Counter
And my allocation of fat intake is with the fried dill pickles, the fries, and OMFG... the shakes. They have seasonal shake flavors that rock my world like only...
You can do, CSJ?
fried dill pickles?? I went to a place that had funnel cake fries....NICE
I'm getting hungry now
I know> I thought I'd get one or two replies ith one or two emails LOL...now I have a months worth of burgers to go try!

Bowery Burgers from Wholefoods!

Very active thread LOL
I would say of all the opinions I got MOST will say the P meridian.....the shake shack is about 50 percent but the lines turn me off. Since the homestead is near me I will def give it a go.....
thanks TER
Cara I think there is one by you as well. Really good
