in:What’s the best restaurant you know in NYC?1 pts
“Bobby Vans at 54/park location - dishes: crab cake, meatballs, ribeye steak ordered rare plus. They have a tendency to overcook. Rare plus = medium rare. Side dishes, cream spinach and mushrooms, they’re the best executed side dishes I’ve had.”

in:Thick burger, 6-10 oz. Tender, soft, juicy and doesn't taste like rough ground beef but a soft patty. No sauce, just simple cheese and meat. Are there any in lower Manhattan or downtown Brooklyn/Dumbo/Williamsburg? Thanks.1 pts
