  • replying to u/JayMoots: Bill's Bar and Burger in Rockefeller Center is kind of a tourist trap but they do have a legit burger. If you're willing to go a little further *uptown*, Burger Joint at the Thompson Hotel is spectacular. If you're willing to go a little further *downtown*, Keen's has a great burger. Or if you want fast food, Shake Shack and 7th Street Burger always hit.

    Gotta say Burger Joint kinda blows. It's hardly better than a fast food burger and the mean streets of NYC aesthetic is just weird. It's like Johnny Rocket but even less cool

  • It’s not fancy but it has the same vibe-ish. Used to be a secret but no longer. Burger joint on 56th. Go through the Uber fancy hotel but inside is like a dive burger joint. Enjoy.

  • Burger Joint takes you up near central park for lunch and its very fun. Great burger, fries and milkshake, in a hidden alcove tucked into the Thompson Central Park hotel.
