I spent a few days in NYC and managed to try a bunch of spots that had been on my list for a while.
- Hamburger America:
This was my first stop the same night I arrived. Not the best burger in the city, but it totally delivered. No thrills, just good, simple burgers done right. Are there better ones out there? Sure. But since it's owned by George Motz, I had to go. I got the classic Oklahoma and a Chester.
- 7th St Burger:
Perfect late night joint. Simple smash burgers, super tasty, and the sauce was spot on. They're open till really late, so it might just be the best late night burger I've ever had.
- Au Cheval:
I've wanted to try this one for years. It lived up to the hype. The thick cut bacon with the egg and cheese worked perfectly together. I'd definitely go back next time I’m in the city.
- Red Hook Tavern:
I'd been hearing a lot about this one lately and finally made it. Getting a reservation was tough, but the burger absolutely delivered. They use dry aged beef, and you can really taste it. Loved it.

Dayuum them some sexy burgies
Nice burgers.
It’s “no frills” by the way. Also, didn’t know about those patty melts, how was it compared to the burger? I might need to get one next time.
I’ve eaten at Red Hook, I can confirm that it is one of the top 3 burgers I’ve ever had in my lifetime. It is so juicy that the burger doesn’t need a sauce.
