SMASHED East Village
7.7
A small local smash-burger shop with a short menu and a focus on crispy lace edges and soft potato rolls. The classic smashed cheeseburger is the move—simple, salty, and built for quick late dinners. Great for a fast bite near Union Square without the crowds of bigger names.

Classic SMASHED cheeseburger, Oklahoma burger, Chili cheese fries
