Hidden Paradise for Burger Lovers
Wednesday, February 16, 2005
For the uninitiated, the Burger Joint can be hard to find. It's actually located inside the Parker-Meridien hotel with no direct entrance from the street. And even once you're inside the hotel, it can be tricky since it is literally a hole-in-the-wall hidden behind a curtain with practically no signage. Then, once you get inside, don't be surprised if you have to wait in line (you order fast food style from a counter) and can't find a table, since there are so few of them.
So is it worth the effort? For these burgers at these prices, absolutely! According to many folks (including my brother), the Burger Joint has the best burgers in New York (the fries and milkshakes are great too). And the prices simply can't be beat.
The Burger Joint is an absolute must for cheap eats lovers. And if you can't get a table, remember that Central Park is just a couple of blocks away.
