Yes concur....Patsy's under the Brooklyn Bridge is awesome. Mktsurfer..for a nice burger ..try the 21 Club...very very good. Best, David
price is irrelevant in the quest for the perfect burger. i think $40.00 is the highest ever for a non-enhanced burger.....
all depends on your tastes. i'm not a pizza 'connisseur' (spelling). most ppl who say patsy's (brooklyn) is good also say new haven pizza places blow it away...patsy's is thin, brick oven style pizza. i'm not a big fan of it. there's a john's that's opened up in midtown (44thish and 8th) - if it's like their village counterpart, they only sell pies and not slices. my personal faves are joe's (on bleecker/6th ave) and (something) ray's on 11th/6th. i didn't find 'great' places in midtown, but everyone's opinion is different. for more food stuff, seriously, go to chowhound.com . and for other stuff near the expo...virgil's bar-b-q is good, there's little brazil on 46th st. (from 7th ave - 6th ave), the soup guy from seinfeld is open with huge lines on 56th and 9th (it is real good, but real expensive and there's nowhere to sit), a couple good thai places (pongsri and chanpen, 48th/8 and 51/9), a slew of 'world' places on 9th ave from 45-55. those are all places that aren't geared to large groups, however. you might want to target one of the breweries for that..
Patsys is the best pizza, period. Burgers? Try Nebraskas. Small bar in the wall street area - really good burgers though. (hence the name - thats where the meats from).
