5 juiciest burgers in NYC

If your mouth isn't already watering... just give it a minute.

Sin City Burger

They reckon they make the best burgers in town. We tend to agree with them. Dry, flavorless patties are non-existent at this burger spot. Why? Because they're crafted with love by the Sin City experts who know a thing or two about how to cook meat perfectly. What's more, this burger hot spot is open seven days a week, from midday to midnight. So, whether you're after lunch, dinner or a late-night feast, you can get your fix at Sin City Burger.

Minetta Tavern

This fabulous tavern has been around since 1937, so it's safe to say it has stood the test of time. It's been described as a Parisian steakhouse mixed with a classic New York City Tavern. It's not cheap, but let us tell you, it is worth every cent. If not for the classic interior, then most certainly for their sensational food, of which we think their burgers are the absolute star of the show. Premium cuts of meat, the freshest buns and the tastiest of toppings are just the very beginning.

The Happiest Hour

This whimsical cocktail bar is also a full-blown restaurant and just happens to have an award-winning burger on its menu. If their ambience doesn't make your heart feel happy, we guarantee their burgers (especially the award-winning one) will. Plus, all dishes are served with a side of rock and soul music to complete the experience. There are only three burgers on their menu, but each one of them has its own story to tell.

Red Hook Tavern

This special little spot in the waterfront village in Brooklyn serves up traditional American tavern food in all its glory. If you're looking for a place where you can share a bottle of wine with friends, soak up a warm ambience and eat one of New York City's best burgers, you need to visit this place.

Teddy's Bar & Grill

We'll start off by saying that whether or not you like burgers, Teddy's Bar & Grill is literally one of the oldest bars in Brooklyn with many pieces of original interior remaining. This place is worth a visit if only to soak in its epic history. And if you do like burgers, well, you're in luck, because both New Yorkers and visitors to the city have very good things to say about them. There's more than one to choose from, and each of them is bound to put a smile on your face.
