burgers There will never be a consensus on the "best" burger, will there? Everyone has their own top 5? 10? list for any given region. So to add to the unending list of lists, AOL City Guides put out their list of the Top 10 Burgers in NYC, voted on by their readers. Rounding out at the top? Not a suprise that it would be a steakhouse, Peter Luger. But is it just me, or does the list seem heavy on "nice" burger places?

The rest of the list is below. Now we just have to get our man in New York, Joe, to try them all!

City Search is a great place to get an idea, but I would not take their word as gospel. Let's just say that a sports bar I frequent in LA received very high marks that were not necessarily based on its merits.

I don't know...these are good places, and it may be that it's just limited to Manhattan, but I gotta question any list of the best burgers in NYC that doesn't include Donovan's (great Irish pub in Woodside, Queens).

Where's P.J. Clarke's??? Shame that it's not on there. But J.G. Melon's is fantastic. And so is USC, but not for burgers...

Have to agree with commenter #1, the citysearch ratings have always been biased towards sceney restaurants. They're not exactly a bunch of foodies over there.

But as far as the best burger, my favorite is never mentioned in any of these "best of" lists. Hurricane Hopeful in Williamsburg. Best burger in the city. You would never expect it from looking at the place.
