A Hamburger Today
A Hamburger Today is a new burger-centric site that seems initially focused on NYC burgers. Something I know a bit about. Their initial reviews tend towards the current superstars* of the NYC burger scene, Shake Shack, Corner Bistro and Burger Joint behind the curtain at the Le Parker Meridien hotel, as well as a few lesser known places like Island Burger, Lucky burger and the unfortunately flailing Blue 9.
I’m looking forward to reading their takes on some other places like Peter Luger, Westville or The Burger Joint (the new slider place on Third Ave and 20th) as well as any attempt to rate burgers at any of the million NYC diner/lunch counters, the 3rd Avenue Joe Juniors being my neighborhood favorite.
* I grew up in California, Super Star was a semi-intentional pun.
What about Rare (37th & Lex)? Have you been there? I think it’s pretty awesome.
Also, I think Pastis makes a pretty mean burger.
Where is Jackson Hole?!? Is St. Charlies still down in the Wall Street area? How about NY Burger eateries from the past like “The Stockyards In” or “The Cattleman”?!?
This also seems to seem familar to the Hotdog Blog which is LA based.
OK, so maybe I don’t know as much about NYC burgers as I thought I did. But it does seem like the local burger scene has grown quite a bit in the past 3-5 years.
Marc (hi!), if you haven’t been back in town for a burger at Shake Shack, you owe it to yourself. They’re really astonishing.
Joe,
Here, maybe this might bring back memories for you guys

The fact that Le Parker Meridien hotel has a Burger Joint is pretty funny enough. I am now down here in Florida and where I am there are no good burgers unless you make them yourself.
As for Brooklyn Burgers, Maybe Juniors? or a couple of eateries in Bay Ridge like Griswolds Pub. The Corner Bistro was the place you can always depend on. Nice to see it is still there.
