Where Burger Joint appears on New York Dearest
It's on 1 of my list. Each entry below is what I wrote about it there, with my verdict on that list, the fullest first.
- Address119 W 56th St, New York, NY 10019
- From my guide, updated January 2024.
Burger Joint looks like it belongs on the side of a seldom traveled highway. Its wooden booths and tagged walls scream hole in the wall, but instead you’ll find it tucked away the elegant Thompson Hotel on 56th Street, hidden behind a red-curtain wall in the lobby.
It’s one of the best restaurants near Central Park for a no frills, hearty meal. Burgers (including plant-based), fries, shakes and brews dominate the menu. But word is out on the Burger Joint and its quirky nature means a lot of folks want to give ‘em a try. Lines are common so if you’re in a rush I’d stop by one of the other restaurants near Central Park.
Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
