replying to u/burnshimself: Apologies but Smith and Wollsnsky is the most overrated steakhouse in midtown and I consider it a chain steakhouse at this point, would recommend against it if you haven’t been recently

replying to u/CabassoG: Worst: For it's hype, I disliked the Le Big Matt. Also closed but I honestly hated the burger from The HiHi Room which was a spinoff or court st grocers I believe. Literal pound of shredded lettuce and a small burger with a generic sauce. Best as I've mentioned prior: Wollensky's Grill..$25 with your choice of cheese and waffle fries.
“The Wollensky’s burger is made from dry-aged meat though, which some people might love but gives it a weird taste.”

H1
in:Minetta Tavern black label burger - can anyone advise if it is as good as reviews say?2 pts
replying to u/PatriotsSuck12: Too subjective of a topic. Like pizza everyone has a favorite. I personally don't like American Cheese or Mayo on a burger as it takes away from the burger thus Minetta is really great but $38 is a little nuts for a burger and fries same deal with the Emmy Burger at $31. A $13 cash only JG Melon burger pickles onion ketchup and cottage fries on the Upper East Side are a perfect pair for me but again,it's subjective.
