Leave
it to the United States to designate the first week of May as National Burger Week. Since
2011, burger joints and restaurants across the country have pulled out all the
stops to offer gourmet blends and off-menu specialities that pay tribute to the
mighty hamburger. God Bless America!
In 2013, New York City
sites really stepped up to the grill plate, and offered a range of tasty treats
and specials. If burgers and whiskey weren’t
your thing, you could try burgers and bowling, or burgers and beer pairings
instead!
But for a truly unique burger
experience in New York, at any time of year, you need to visit what has become
our worst-kept secret. Tucked behind a
heavy velvet curtain in the lobby of the fancy Le Parker Meridien Hotel is a
greasy burger joint! With no signage, limited
seating, questionable service, and a cash-only policy, customers still line up
out the door for generous helpings of burgers and fries that are all made to
order. Delicious!
