67 burger is awesome, but its just SO EXPENSIVE.

burger, fries and a shake will set you back 16 bucks. ridiculous.

Corner Bistro is my fav. They've always got great jazz playing, open super late, and, unlike some of the other places, you can get really cheap good beer.

If ambience matters, than the Bistro is the way to go.

67 Burger is where it's at, in Ft. Greene. Surprisingly, Sputnik on Taaffe Pl. in Clinton Hill has great bison/turkey/veggie burgers.

Corner Bistro, and it's better now that the crowds have moved on to some of the newer places.

Rare

If you are in the LES you should check out Zait Zeff(ave B and between 3rd and 2nd)

They have great burgers a little pricey but you do get what you pay for.

Another great burger is Montpernass on 51st between 1st and 2nd

If you are in the Village check out Paul's Joint its on the corner of st. marks and 2nd huge burgers with all sorts of toppings

The three (consistently) best burgers in the city, in my opinion:

Peter Luger

Mr. Dennehy's, on Carmine (7th Ave x Blkr)

McReilly's on Vernon in LIC

Oh my favorites are either Shake Shack or Five Guys. With Five Guys, love the little cheeseburger and cajun fries. Mmmmmmm!

Julius on West Tenth & Waverly is still the best in my book. Great burgers, marvelous fries and wonderful, friendly bartenders!

Wasn't impressed with Corner Bistro the first couple of times I went but then it started tasting better. Like the relatively cheap beer along with it.

I believe Corner Bistro uses the the George Forman grill rather than their usual grill after hours. Or maybe that's what my friends were getting me to buy when I had a bit too much of that cheap beer....

1. J.G. Melon's

2. BLT Burger

3. The Stoned Crow

(I find the Corner Bistro to be incredibly overrated; my last burger there was dry and rather tasteless.)

One of my personal favs is Walkers, corner of N Moore and Varick in Tribeca.

My friends saw a giant rat walk across the room at Walkers.

67 Burger in Fort Greene

I second the call for Peter Luger.

Especially with some of their bacon and luger sauce, mmm.

BLT Burger, Peter Lugers, and Fairway Cafe on 73rd make the best burgers in the city. Burger Joint at the Parker Meridian is highly overrated.

When I want a burger I go to Five Guys in College Point, Queens

The Farm on Adderley on Cortelyou in Ditmas Park.

and i also had the greatest burger of my life at Pianos of all places, but every trip back since has been a letdown.

I like Gracie's on 88th St and East End Avenue.

One of my personal favs is Walkers, corner of N Moore and Varick in Tribeca.

Paul's Palace in the East Village has been a favorite of ours for well over a decade.
