As part of New York Magazine's Best of 2007 Eating and Drinking roundup, which included the best new restaurants and the best brunches in the city, the magazine's resident foodies weighed in on the best burgers in NYC. Their picks included low, middle and high-end burgers, with high end choices often involving lamb or foie gras in addition to (or instead of) beef. High prices tended to be $14+, medium ranged from $8-$12 and low was everything else. The picks were:
ADAM PLATT:
- High - The Waverly Inn
- Medium - BLT Burger
- Low - Shake Shack
ROB PATRONITE:
- High - Blue Smoke
- Medium - The Stoned Crow
- Low - Shake Shack
ROBIN RAISFELD:
- High - Nicole's
- Medium - Prune
- Low - P.J. Clarke's
GAEL GREENE:
- High - Brooklyn Diner
- Medium - Fairway Café
- Low - White Castle
Don't forget to wash them down with a milkshake!

Just as well. He would have thrown a temper tantrum and demanded to know why the salt and pepper wasn't included, and why others diners were given salt and pepper and he wasn't, thus robbing him of what he feels was rightfully his.

Who puts foie gras on a BURGER? :\
Only in New York, I guess.

I agree with the milkshake choice. BRGR has a great milkshake (and a good, but not great, burger). I still don't get why everyone likes the Shake Shack. If it were anywhere besides Madison Square Park we'd all ignore it.

Um, White Castle? Now while I am a huge fan of the place and go there for major holidays, how can you put that in a list of the best NYC burgers? It's a fast food chain and you can get the same exact thing at any other location.
