Burger Joint · Sutton Place · 8 tips and reviews
Roger V: Best burgers in mid-town. And my favorite wings anywhere.
Brad Garoon: It's at least as good as any fast food joint, and for the same cost, I’d grab a burger from here and french fries from McDonald’s if I were in the neighborhood and only had a few bucks on me. Read more.
Rudy G.: Good greasy spoon. Old fashioned narrow place with good burgers. Fries are good too! Plus they carry Boylan's!

Pub · Yorkville · 66 tips and reviews
Krishna Ram: Free potato chips, great bartenders, best of the UES crowd!
New York Habitat: Not quite a dive bar but certainly not an upscale joint, just a good local spot. They've got pool, darts, and even a basketball game to pass the time. Plus who can argue with free potato chips?
Teresa W: Mick and Jimmy: my favorite bartenders in all of NYC.
Lauren: Best diner on the UES. Solid staples: eggs, home fries, wraps, etc. Great service & staff, too.
Ruben Brosbe: The York Ave is without a doubt the best item on a very solid menu
Anna Osgoodby: One of my favorite diners around the UES. The staff is great, the menu selection can't be beat and the food is delicious!
Fay Shapiro: Best service. Best bagels. Best lox.
Creighton DeSimone: Pastrami sandwich is fantastic here. Worth checking out.
Real Cheap Eats: Try the Souper Soup. "Sitting in the heady chicken broth, which demands no salt, are a hearty beef kreplach, noodles and a gigantic matzoh ball that straddles the line between floater and sinker." Read more.

Jim A.: It beats the atmosphere of many of the joints in Times Square area. Great staff, good beers, and awesome food.

Eyal Goldwerger: Terrific soul food. The chicken & waffle with strawberry butter is a classic. Tuesday night live band music was incredible R&B, great singer and keyboard. Local crowd, Greta atmosphere, great service!
Nabeel: Chicken and waffles are pretty good. Make sure to get the white meat (not dark meat).

Jason Dougherty: Killer schwarma, killer falafel. A TON of options.
Craig Elimeliah: Yossi the Shawarma guy is old school grand master iron chef of middle eastern foods. Def check out the unreal yeminite soup and magadara
AmateurConcierge: It ain’t much to look at, and that rabbi blessing don’t come cheap but they have a damn good schwarma baguette. And unlimited salad bar to go with
