NYC-born 7th Street Burger’s Turtle Bay outpost turns out griddled smash-style cheeseburgers, jalapeño burgers and fries until midnight on weeknights and 3am on weekends. The tiny counter-service space is mostly standing room, but the draw is quick, consistently juicy burgers at budget-friendly prices a short walk from the UN and Grand Central.
Must-Try Dishes:
Cheeseburger, Double Cheeseburger, Spicy Jalapeño Cheeseburger
What makes it special: Smash-style burgers griddled late into the night in a no-frills Turtle Bay counter.

Mocha Burger Lux is a kosher burger-and-steak concept where grass-fed short-rib patties, theatrical cocktails and a DJ-fueled room carry service to midnight most nights and 2am on Saturdays. Open since 2023, it doubles as a late-night destination for Midtown office crowds and observant diners, from classic burgers to the headline-grabbing 24K Gold Plated Golden-Burger.
Must-Try Dishes:
Lamb Burger with caramelized onions and tzatziki, The Benny-style beef sliders and fries, Truffle fries with pulled brisket or lamb bacon
What makes it special: Glatt-kosher Midtown burger house combining gourmet builds with steakhouse polish.

7.8
A busy Irish-leaning pub a few blocks from Grand Central, Foxy John’s runs its bar until 1am with a menu that treats its flame-grilled Black Angus burger and sliders as seriously as its wings and beers. TVs, cocktails and a sizable dining room make it a reliable choice for late-working travelers and hotel guests who still want a proper sit-down burger before the kitchen closes around 11pm.
Must-Try Dishes:
Black Angus Burger, Beef Sliders, Bang Bang Shrimp
What makes it special: Irish-accented Midtown pub where hefty burgers share billing with sports and beer.
