Everyone loves a good burger, it’s as American as American can be. As a blogger I’m constantly eating different or even upscale food, food from different countries, but often I just fall back on the good old burger, and below you will find ten of the ones I enjoyed the most. Some of them are branded the best in the city, some of them are my personal favorites, but they all rock!
The Spotted Pig – The Michelin Star One
This very interesting restaurant actually just recently lost its Michelin Star, but I doubt it’s because of their burger, because it is heavenly. Cooked to order, it is topped with Roquefort Cheese and served with (amazinggggg) shoe string fries. It’s Burger Heaven.

The Burger Joint – The Hidden One
Unless a kind soul like me tells you about this awesome spot, there’s a good chance you won’t even know about this place. Hidden behind a curtain at Le Parker Meridian Hotel, this simple burger joint serves either burgers or cheese burgers, nothing else besides the fries and beverages. Classic and well cooked, don’t miss this one.

Milk Burger – The One In The Bronx
I live in the Bronx, I love this borough. Besides Staten Island it probably houses the most original New Yorkers, and the pizza is out of this world. My favorite burger place in the Boogie Down is Milk Burger. Serving clean and local food, the El Barrio Burger is my favorite there, with bacon, cheddar cheese, jalapeño sauce and a fried egg.

Juniper – The One In Brooklyn
One of my first stops as food blogger was in Williamsburg Brooklyn for this scrumptious Truffle Burger. This restaurant is plain and simple, it’s BYOB, it’s no nonsense, and the food rocks. The Truffle Burger comes with mushrooms, truffle oil and cheese of your choice, and is worth the trip over the Williamsburg Bridge.

Stout – The German One
I spend a lot of time at Stout during football season, it’s a fun spot. I am very critical once it comes to German food as a German national, so believe me when I tell you that their Bratwurst Burger is out of this world. It is served with sauerkraut, red cabbage and spice ale mustard, and the fries are pretty darn good too.

Black Tap – The Popular One
Black Tap is a restaurant that’s all about the burger. The menu has a healthy set of options available for everyone’s taste buds. My favorite there is the Steak Au Poivre Burger. It is served with Blue Cheese and a Green Peppercorn Sauce that will have you thinking you’re in an upscale steak house. Don’t forget to try one of their amazing milk shakes while visiting…

Five Guys – The Fast Food One
When you think burger, you usually think fast food, and there’s no shortage of that here in New York City. Some are better than others, and the quality has improved so much over the years. My favorite is hands down The Five Guys burger with lettuce, tomato and pickles, mustard, mayo and ketchup. Yaaassss…
