Harlem Shake is a retro-styled corner burger joint turning out smashburgers, hot dogs, and thick shakes late into the night. It’s as much about people-watching on the Lenox-and-124th sidewalk as it is about the Harlem Classic and Hot Mess burgers with curly fries.
Must-Try Dishes: Hot Mess Burger, Harlem Classic Burger, Red velvet Harlem Shake
