The 14 Best Burgers In NYC
BY REBECCA FISHBEINJUNE 19, 2014
WHITMAN'S: This small East Village spot boasts the famed Juicy Lucy, a piping hot patty made of a Pat LaFrieda beef short rib blend and stuffed with piquant, super-melty pimento cheese. The whole shebang, served with caramelized onion, lettuce, tomato, spicy pickles and sauce, runs $11. Do note the menu's warning noteβ"juicy lucy is very hot in the middle and might squirt"βlest you leave Whitman's with third degree cheese burns. If the Juicy Lucy doesn't call to you, there's also a grilled brisket beef "Mangold" burger, a P B&B burger made with bacon and peanut butter, a bacon, egg and cheese burger and a $7 classic burger.
Whitman's is located at 406 East 9th Street between 1st Ave and Ave A in the East Village (212-228-8011, whitmansnyc.com).
