TEN BEST NEW BURGERS: NEW YORK CITY’S FRESHEST PATTIES
By Patty Lee
As more contenders crowd the field, New York City’s patty battle rages on. Time Out NY tracked down ten of the best new burgers.
New York City’s burger wars show no signs of letting up. West Coast joints are ramping up their Gotham invasion, while chefs add locavore and fine-dining tweaks. Whether you’re looking for a smashed-and-seared patty or elevated jaw-stretcher, here are the ten best new burgers to add to your list.
During the day, Danny Meyer’s trattoria turns out standout traditional Roman fare, but on the late-night menu, chef Nick Anderer loosens up. In May, the talented toque rolled out his version of the American burger, with an Italian accent, of course. Anderer piles on theartisanal factor: peppery house-made pancetta, tangy Gorgonzola cheese, bitter escarole and a fragrant rosemary roll. The ingredients counterbalance, instead of obscuring, the luscious patty, made from a Pat LaFrieda mix of short rib, brisket and chuck and seared à la plancha. Gramercy Park Hotel, 2 Lexington Ave at 21st St (212-777-2410, maialinonyc.com). $15.
