7th Street Burger’s Kips Bay outpost is a no-frills smash-burger counter turning out thin, deeply seared patties on soft potato buns for under $15. Lines move fast, late-night hours stretch past midnight, and the short menu of cheeseburgers and loaded fries delivers a high payoff for the price.

Double Cheeseburger, Spicy Jalapeño Cheeseburger, Loaded Beef Fries

Diner 24
7.7
A modern 24-hour diner built around a big, smash-burger mission—fast gratification, loud comfort, and always-open utility. Treat it like a single-lane order: one smash burger build, fries if you’re hungry, and don’t let the massive menu distract you.
Must-Try Dishes:
12oz Double Smash Cheeseburger, 12oz Double Smash Bacon Cheeseburger, Single Smash Burger
What makes it special: A true 24-hour smash-burger option in the neighborhood.
7.6
A true all-hours diner where wings work as the reliable, no-drama comfort order—crispy enough to satisfy, fast enough to match the late-night pace. The best approach is classic diner discipline: wings plus one supporting side, then stop before the menu sprawl takes over.
Must-Try Dishes:
Buffalo wings, Mozzarella sticks, Breakfast platter (late-night classic)
What makes it special: All-hours diner wings when everything else is closed.
