Where to find the best burger spot in New York, according to Yelp – NBC New York

If you’re craving a good burger, New York has you covered. And just in time for National Burger Day on Sunday.

Yelp has generated a list of the nation’s “Top 100 Burger Spots”, and the Big Apple is home to eight such spots, including the second.

Second place went to Minetta Tavern, a French restaurant in Greenwich Village. They do the “Black Label Burger which features a selection of dry aged cuts of beef and is served with caramelized onions and french fries”.

Here are the other best NYC burgers on the list:

#21 Xian Famous Foods: This chain’s Upper East Side location has come into its own thanks to the Stewed Pork Burger and Spicy Cumin Lamb Burger on the menu.

#23 Five Napkin Burger: In Midtown West, you can grab a bite of their classic 5 Napkin Burger made with 10 oz. of all-natural beef and piled high with imported Gruyere cheese, caramelized onions and rosemary-garlic aioli.

#30 Burger Joint: This Midtown joint offers both classic burgers and cheeseburgers with “the works” or their plant-based versions. There are also locations in Moynihan Food Hall and Industry City Brooklyn.

#36 Shake Shack: Although this restaurant is a popular chain, its Midtown West location is in the top 100 list.

#37 Ruby’s Cafe: Manhattan’s Nolita neighborhood is home to this gem, which offers a variety of burger creations with non-traditional toppings like pineapple and beets.

#47 Vesuvio Bakery This SoHo spot offers several types of fresh bread; however, the lunch menu seemed to be focused on sandwiches rather than traditional burgers.

#97 Parker & Quinn: Midtown South is home to this Refinery Hotel restaurant, with options like a lamb burger with peperonata, goat cheese, and harissa aioli.

Yelp says some popular trends among those rating restaurants were large portions, various meats like salmon and lamb, and creative rolls. They also found that the barbecue options are popular with Yelpers.
