Last Updated: January 2026

Our Top Pick
Au Cheval
A cult burger destination that stays dependable even with huge demand.

Notable Picks

$$$ TriBeCa
A burger-and-cocktails room with late-night energy and a menu that rewards ordering with restraint: one signature burger, one side, and a drink that keeps the pace moving. The draw is consistency at scale—show up hungry, commit to the classics, and don’t overcomplicate it.
Must-Try Dishes: Single cheeseburger, Bacon add-on, Garlic aioli fries
What makes it special: A cult burger destination that stays dependable even with huge demand.
$ TriBeCa
A Tribeca institution for pancakes, pies, and comfort-food cravings where the best move is to order like a regular: one breakfast classic or one sandwich-and-side, then save room for pie. It’s high-volume for a reason—go on a weekday if you want the food without the line becoming the event.
Must-Try Dishes: Pancakes, Fried chicken, Key lime pie
What makes it special: A long-running Tribeca comfort-food hub with serious pie credibility.
$$$ TriBeCa
A brasserie-diner hybrid with a timeless Tribeca pulse—red banquettes, martinis, and a menu that’s strongest when you keep it classic. Order one anchor (steak frites or a burger), add a crisp salad, and let the room do the rest.
Must-Try Dishes: Steak frites, Burger, Caesar salad with chicken paillard
What makes it special: A classic Tribeca room where the vibe is as much the draw as the menu.
$$ SoHo
A focused vegan burger counter that gets the core texture-and-seasoning balance right, delivering a convincing smash-style experience without trying to mimic steakhouse swagger. Order tight, eat immediately, and let the fries-and-shake combo do the extra lifting.
Must-Try Dishes: Vegan smash-style burger, Loaded chili fries, Cookies & cream milkshake
What makes it special: A vegan burger that nails texture and seasoning like a real smash.

Worthy Picks

7.8
$$$ Hudson Square
A neighborhood New American room where the burger is a steady menu constant rather than a hype object. It’s a good pick when you want a composed sit-down burger with a calmer vibe and a more dinner-forward experience than a pure burger shop.
Must-Try Dishes: Burger with Swiss, onions & mushrooms, Fries, Little gems salad
What makes it special: A composed, sit-down burger option anchored by a real kitchen.
$ SoHo
A classic neighborhood bar move where the signature is a burger served in pita—simple, filling, and tuned for a casual hang. It’s not about polish; it’s about comfort, late hours, and a dependable order that pairs well with fries and a drink.
Must-Try Dishes: Burger in pita, Fries, Buffalo wings
What makes it special: A no-fuss bar burger in pita that hits like old NYC.
$$ Chinatown
A Chinatown bar that works best as a low-stakes burger-and-beer stop with lively energy and strong late-day momentum. The burger plays well when you keep it simple, add a bar snack side, and treat it as comfort fuel rather than a destination burger quest.
Must-Try Dishes: Tavern burger, Tater tots, Chicken wings
What makes it special: A bar-first burger stop with strong hangout energy.
$ SoHo
A small Canal Street counter that plays like a practical, fast burger stop when you want something hot and immediate. The best outcome comes from sticking to a core burger, adding one crispy side, and treating it as efficient fuel rather than a destination meal.
Must-Try Dishes: Classic cheeseburger, Smash-style burger, Onion rings
What makes it special: A fast, counter-service burger stop right on Canal Street.
