most of you need to get out of Manhattan more! The db bistro burger is famously expensive but awesome and the Luger burger is a legend, just ask Jack Black (he comments on luger's legend in the commentary on School of Rock), but i am on a personal quest to find really the best burger in the city and here is my up-to-now findings. The best burger is (unfortunately seasonal only) at ShakeShack. Its an InandOut copy that takes the original and steps it up with better quality everything and its really an amazing cheeseburgy! Red Hook hosts the bar named Hope and Anchor who serves an amazing burger too, well worth the drive out and karoke is amazing there too. Finally, Cobble Hill (union st i think)'s Alan Harding and co's Schnack is in the running too for a cheap and fantastic snack. Virtually accross from lugers too is Diner, who's burger is almost as good as it's location and terrific vintage building. Ok hit me with more burgers please, my arteries are not going to clog themselves!!! O also lucky burger is decent on ave A too...great for late night quick grease fix.
