Para empezar, hemos tenido que hacer más de 30 minutos de cola. El local es muy pequeño, con 10 o 12 mesas , lo que no te garantiza que te vayas a poder sentar para comer. A todo el mundo le fascina el local, porque dicen que tiene un aire industrial... a mi me pareció un antro: pequeño, sucio y oscuro. Las patatas, la bebida y la hamburguesa te las sirven en papel y envueltas, como si fueran para llevar (no hay camareros; haces tu pedido y luego lo recoges en el mostrador, como una cadena de hamburgueserías). Mi hamburguesa estaba en el punto en la que la pedí. El queso es justo: una loncha; al igual que el tomate y la lechuga. El tamaño de la hamburguesa es como las del McDonalds. La carne de la hamburguesa estaba sosa y el pan no era gran cosa, seguramente era industrial. Las patatas nada destacables: a mi me supieron igual que las del McDonalds. Nosotros pedimos 2 cheeseburguers, una coca-cola, una cerveza (te ponen un vaso grande) y 2 de patatas fritas. Nos cobraron 44$ (tasas e impuestos incluidos). Por la calidad de la hamburguesa, el tiempo de espera, el local... creo que no merece ni ese precio, ni la fama que tiene.

If youve been to Secret Pizza at the Cosmopolitan in Vegas youll understand the concept: put a funky little "hole-in-the-wall" joint selling good, simple food at reasonable prices in an out-of-the-way area of a swanky hotel. I walk into the lobby of this hotel and Im looking around the lobby confused; the doorman immediately points me to a little hallway off to the left--theres a little neon sign of a burger--aha! At least they have that; Secret Pizza has no indicator whatsoever. Anyhoo, I wander down the hall and find myself transported into a tiny little greasy burger joint, complete with signs written on pieces of cardboard and cheesy old movie posters on the wall. Its about noon so the lunch crowd is swinging into full effect, and there is a line (not too big of one yet, thank goodness). They have little order slips in all different languages for the foreign visitors, as they want you to have your order READY by the time you get to the counter. There are all kinds of instructions telling you exactly what you need to do, lol. Id say this process borders on Burger Nazism, but the workers are actually pretty friendly. I just ordered a cheeseburger, fries and a drink and found a seat at a communal table right next to the order counter. I was sitting next to a French couple and it seemed like a majority of the people in the place were foreign tourists--must be in all the guide books now, I guess! It took about 10 minutes for my burger to come out, and lo, it was good. Everything was fresh and tasty I liked how they squash the buns so theyre flattened and dense--made the burger easier to eat. The fries were golden-brown and crispy, and I ate almost all of the generous mound they give you. It was definitely worth the stop and am looking forward to hitting it up again on future visits!

En la zona de Columbus Circle, muy cerca de la zona sur de Central Park. Este es un sitio curioso donde los haya porque está detrás de la recepción de un gran hotel: entras al hotel y justo a la derecha de la recepción podrás ver una cola de gente que está esperando para entrar en este rinconcito. Aunque veas mucha cola, suele ir bastante rápido puesto que no sirven en mesa: se pide en la barra con un papelito, esperas 5 minutos y te la comes en el rincón que pilles. El local está lleno de posters y pintadas, está bastante chulo aunque ya no es tan secreto como antes. Como el Shake Shack, son hamburguesas sencillas (carne, queso, lechuga y pepinillos) pero buenísimas. Cuidado porque sólo se puede pagar en efectivo.

Es posiblemente la hamburguesería más peculiar de todo Nueva York. Encontrarla requiere saber dónde vas y aún así puede que tengas que preguntar. Primero hay que entrar en el hotel Le Parker Meridien y luego, en una esquina oscura como si estuvieras entrando a un club nocturno prohibido, está el pequeño local. Y es que no me podía imaginar que de tal sitio saliera una de las mejores hamburguesas que he probado en Nueva York, ¡y casi en mi vida! Todo parece cutre en principio (el papel donde viene envuelta, el local, …), pero repetiría mil veces más. Es ese cutre que se convierte en encanto y satisfacción, y que dota al restaurante de autenticidad.

El concepto de esta hamburguesería es completamente diferente a cualquiera de las que puedes encontrar en la ciudad. Se trata de una hamburguesería de aspecto normal en un hotel de 5 estrellas, Le Parker Meridien, en pleno corazón de Manhattan. Al entrar en recepción puedes ver al fondo un gran telón granate. En uno de sus laterales se encuentra la entrada a una hamburguesería corriente en ambiente y decoración pero con unas hamburguesas deliciosas. No se reserva y vas cogiendo mesa según quedan libres, la cola va lenta. No hay servicio, se pide en la pequeña barra y lo llevas tu mismo. Un concepto único y especial, con unas hamburguesas DELICIOSAS. Muy recomendable!

Dawg I have confirmed that this place is THE ISH!!!!! OF ALL TIME! Basically. First of all, long as ballz line in the lobby of some fancy hotel. Lots of confused tourists in line cuz this appears on every list of places to eat at. Its a lil wooden shack college looking place with cardboard for signs. The homies working the grill are funny and bounce wit off each other like this is an SNL skit or somth. I fux with that heavily b. Ripping into this huge ass burger literally feels better than being born. It almost had a man break down and weeping right there on the barstool. It was one of the best burgers Ive ever had son.... and ya mans has had a few and I got the diabetes to prove it. The fries was surprisingly average I thought. I didnt even finish em cuz once they got cold they aint good anymore. Thats the sign of a not that remarkable fry dawg. 100. Some dumb tourist wasnt watching and her backpack knocked the lightswitch by the entry way and the cooks in darkness were like hey you jesus christ watch out haha. We were all like lol. Rating: recommended af. No question. Probably best burger in NYC though Shake Shack and Corner Bistro are also both so good youll be suicidal. If you skip this place then burn off your tastebuds cuz you dont deserve to taste again. Ok that was a little harsh. Peace

Hidden behind floor length red drapes sits a little ball of grease heaven. With lines sure to be shorter than Shake Shack in Madison Square Park sits burger joint inside Le Parker Meridian. The style is similar, with a minimalist menu and one hell of a burger. As you approach the entrance to burger joint you are greeted by international flags and menus in eight or so languages so there is communication issues with your order. If you speak English, feel free to speak your order instead of filling out the menu sheet. Minimal works well here as you can order quickly and the return time is not bad. I suggest you send one person to order and one person to eye and hover the table closest to being finished. You tell the counter the following: -how you would like your meat cooked -number of patties (zero – cheese!, one, two or supposedly a secret three) -dressing: lettuce, tomato, onion, sliced pickles, ketchup, mayo, mustard -fries if you want them -giant pickle if you want it Drink: beer, wine, soda, lemonade, or milk shake The burger is truly delicious. The fries are thin and cooked just right. You can’t go wrong with a [fountain root] beer. C’mon, it was work hours people! If there’s a line I guarantee it will move quickly.
