Having been to a few famous burger shops around Manhattan, I thought it would be wise to compile the best ones in a list. Here are my favorites so far. Grilled, juicy and rare hidden in between two soft buns:
5 Napkin Burger
Located in Midtown on the corner of 45th and 9th Ave., 5 Napkin burger came highly recommended by my girlfriend. She was not mistaken. The place has one of the best burgers I have ever eaten in Manhattan. So do not be alarmed by the small section of sushi on the menu. Get the onion rings to start and then a medium rare 5 Napkin Original Burger. The melted comte cheese on top with caramelized onions makes all the difference. Smores shake for desert.
Ruby’s
Located in SoHo on 219 Mulberry St., Ruby’s is a tiny burger sport run by Australians. Bronte from the burger list is my favorite. Bear in mind that it is a little on the sweeter side because of the sweet chili. The creamy chicken pasta is also delicious. Ruby’s accepts cash only.
Shake Shack
The famous burger stand found inside Madison Square Park. There is always an unbelievable line. Shack Stack with beer is the favorite.
Burgers at Le Parker Meridien
You will feel like you are in an adventure while spotting this simple burger joint inside the fancy lobby of Le Parker Meridien Hotel located at 119 W. 56th street. It is actually located right behind the front desk and is definitely worth trying. Keep in mind that the place accepts cash only.
Five Guys
The only chain in the list that deserves unique credit. Five Guys has multiple locations around Manhattan. The menu is pretty self-explanatory.
ve yani ben sana soylemesem 5 napkinsle park meridiyendeki yeri.. where would you be !!
I would be home eating healthy vegetables LOL
i mean kimse sana zorla koca bi hambuger, onion rings ve milk shake down ettirmiyo hayatim :)

Kim bu listeyi yapmissa new york’dan fazla cakmiyor demektir :)
Ruby’s ile Meridien tamam da, Corner Bistro nerede bu listede?
Haven’t yet tested the Corner Bistro. Looks like I will soon have another burger outing haha.
Oh wow, these burgers look amazing! I’ve been doing a similar sort of thing with the burgers in Tokyo. May our our hunt for Tokyo’s and NYC’s best burger continue!
Sophia! Let me know when your list for Tokyo comes up :)
