Corner Bistro

This is one of the first restaurants I ate at when I first moved to New York and finally got around to taking Jared there. It's in the running for the hefty title of the city's greatest burger.


The cheeseburger (if you get the Corner Bistro burger it comes mantled with cheese and bacon) contains a soft and chewy cheap sesame bun, just to aid lifting the burger to your mouth but not to detract from the beefiness of the patty-which is like two hockey pucks stacked on top of each other, mustard, ketchup, the superfluous iceberg lettuce leaf and mealy tomato (discard, please), and pickles. It is a true dream of a burger. They also have pints of McSorely's Dark for 3$.


How could you not want to eat this?
