Dare I say there’s a better burger then Shake Shack?

New York Burger Co. (located on Park Ave. between 23rd and 24th street) has Burger enthusiasts, like myself, salivating for more. With a diverse selection of: all-natural angus beef patties and sliders (all grilled to order) to an all-natural turkey burger, a vegetarian black bean burger, sandwiches, salads, and chili, you will keep coming back for more.

I walked in one afternoon with a friend, and pleasantly waited no more then 5 minutes to order. I asked the cashier for a recommendation; she recommended the popular Chelsea Burger, that’s served with cherrywood smoked bacon, cheddar cheese and 1000 island sauce. And her personal favorite, the Soho Burger: portobello mushrooms, swiss cheese, grilled onions and NY Burger Sauce.

Portobello mushrooms (also known as Portobella mushrooms) are not different then your standard white mushroom in taste. They’re just more grown and have meatier caps on them then the standard mushroom and just as soft. Along side the melted, buttery, nutty swiss cheese, and their signature NY Burger sauce, which added a touch of sweetness to the burger, was just mouth watering.

Hate long lines? How about something other than cheese as a topping? Would you like some hand-cut fries to go along with your meal? Are nine dipping sauces enough for you? If you said yes to any of these then i’d recommend New York Burger Co for you.

With nice decor, a friendly staff, and plenty of chairs to go around I can see you already packing your things to leave school now.

Burgers start at $6.75 (speciality ones are about $8) plus another $3.50 for an order of fries and a soda and you’ve got yourself a real meal. Don’t forget to show them your Brauch ID card for a 10% discount. It may be above the average amount spent for lunch, but with food this good, who cares?
