Where is the Best Hamburger in New York, New York?
I love burgers. I’ve eaten burgers at every self-professed “best burgers” joint. I can honestly say that without a doubt, Paul’s burger was the best I’ve ever had. The only other place that comes close is Lou’s Lunch in New Haven. I got an English burger – just a plain old burger with cheese on an English muffin. It didn’t need a thing. The taste of the meat was amazing. I’m surprised they didn’t have a cow carcass in the back room (or maybe they did – hey it’s the East Village!) because the meat tasted so fresh. And yes, the burgers are going to be bigger than the bun (plain old Wonder bread buns) but who wouldn’t want a bigger burger??? I would totally recommend the English muffin because it’s kinda crispy and doesn’t get soggy with all that greasy meaty burger juice. We didn’t get any fries or anything because we wanted to stuff ourselves with that damn tasty burger… but we did get a vanilla egg cream to drink that was pretty awesome. The decor is something you’d expect from the a
Disclaimer first: This does not have the best burgers- Donovan’s in Woodside holds that title, in my opinion. However, I am a big fan of Jackson Hole and this happens to be my favorite branch. If it’s warm out, you MUST sit out in the garden! It’s so nice back there! I love their huge burgers with all the variations of toppings you can imagine. My group ordered a chicken sandwich, 3 different burgers, and a chili burrito. Everyone agreed their meal was good. (If you are intent on finishing your massive burger, I suggest you not get the fries on the side or the milkshake since they fill you up fast.) The chocolate milkshake wasn’t as good as some other times, but we’ll let that one slide. I also look forward to those pickles each time I come here. They may look like normal slices of cucumber, but don’t be fooled, they are pickled to perfection!Pros + large burger selection, great garden, the pickles!Cons – tight seating- could be claustrophobic for some
