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!

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.
