Chopped Meat

I just want a hamburger!!  New York can get overwhelming with restaurant choices but one meal should be dedicated to the hamburger.  This could be a simple task but it is not.  A lot of hamburger joints have opened up in the last 10 years and it is just complicated.  I am sure there are Blogs just on hamburgers.  If I had to keep this midtown again or on the UES, it makes this post easier.  I would like to just send you to The Corner Bistro but I have not been there in 10 years and i was never there prior to 2am.  It is a great bar with a great burger.  It almost feels like I am promoting midtown, but no one talks about mid town; its not just  a neighbor where people work.  There are many residential neighborhoods in Mid-Town East; for example Turtle Bay and Sutton Place.  Again if I were to take a stroll, there are a few institution that are worth looking at for getting a hamburger.  PJ Cark’s and JG Melon both have great bar settings and offer a great burger.  I prefer PJ Clarks; Clarks it is 100 years old and was recently renovated.  They also have an upscale version on the second floor call Sidecar.  The most expensive and noteworthy hamburger at a POSH  midtown restaurant, a institution with a full fare menu and great wine list; the  21 Clubis a great place for a hamburger especially if you are shopping on 5th Aveneue or have some business meetings midtown.

Now pay attention.  My favorite place to grab a quick Burger for lunch or a late night snack.  The only way you usually hear about the restaurant is by word of mouth.  Dozens of restaurants have tried to copy the model since and only a few were successful.  Mouthwatering and just down right AWESOME place to grab a burger.  Hidden in the back of the lobby of the Le Parker Meridian Hotel is a restaurant called The Burger Joint.  Even if eating a Hamburger was not on your list of todo’s, it is worth checking out the scene.  I promise you will love everthing about this burger joint.  Another restaurant in the Lobby of the Hotel is supposed to be a great place for breakfast is Norma’s.
