I don't know it they are griddled or grilled, but Pipers Kilt up in Inwood (one of three locations) has my gold standard for pub burgers. I just cant believe they haven't been written up here yet?

I don't know if they are grilled or griddled, but Pipers' Kilt in Inwood has by gold standardurger I have ever had.

And PFY PJ Clark's burgers are definately griddled, cause while I was eating oysters with my Guiness last week I peeked in the kitchen and saw a bunch of burgers lined-up and staying warm on the griddle. I just hope they don't sit there too long. 5 guys are griddled too.

I have hesitated for a very long time to mention my favorite burger in the city, but finally i realize, why not share the love? The burger at Cafe Loup on 13th street is phenomenal. It's huge, fantastic meat quality, and perfectly cooked. It's a classic burger, no fancy shit: subtle spice (just salt, I reckon); nothing but bloody, juicy meaty goodness. (And chedder if you're into that sort of thing.) Absolutely delicious. It is arguably "better" than all of these burgers, with the exception of Spotted Pig's. I mean, that's just the no-competition antichrist of burgers.

Market Table for sure - if you want a guaranteed fab experience from start to finish.
I'm also fond of Lupa - they do a set menu for parties of 6 or more, and serve it family-style. (haven't tried but have seen the lucky group).
Book early though. Still dreaming about their salumi plate - the head cheese is to die for.
Blue Hill's also on my birthday list.
Good luck, and Happy Birthday.

Thanks, Nick - It's about time Wollensky's Grill got involved in the top tier. It was always pretty good meat, but when they re-worked it a year or two ago it skyrocketed up on my list. The true test of a top burger is one that needs no ketchup - and, though I love ketchup, it would take away from WG's superior product.

I can't believe noone said PJ Clarkes yet. I think they are great, always perfectly cooked, nice roll, and fast.

@Laurel E: Thanks for the correction! And, the happy hour is daily.

This place looks like a nice low key hang out. Is the happy hour 7 days or just weekdays?

Also, I hate to be that person, but it's "PVC" pipe. Years of working in a hardware store forces me to correct.

Prime Rib (If that even counts). If not, I'm a Porterhouse fan.
