  1. 1

    Red Hook Tavern

    Red Hook

    8oz dry-aged patty, American cheese, raw onion on sesame bun — the defining NYC burger of the last five years per nearly every critic.

  2. 2

    Minetta Tavern

    Greenwich Village

    Keith McNally's Black Label — dry-aged blend, caramelized onions, a three-star NYT burger that redefined the $30 burger category.

  3. 3

    JG Melon

    Upper East Side

    Upper East Side pub institution since 1972 — a griddled 7.25oz patty served with pickles and cottage fries; cash only, no frills.

  4. 4

    Keens Steakhouse

    Midtown

    Century-old chop-house pub burger with a cult following — dry-aged, bar-only, eaten beneath the church of churchwarden pipes.

  5. 5

    4 Charles Prime Rib

    West Village

    Off-menu double cheeseburger at the Brent Young chophouse — a tightly rationed cult item that's become shorthand for NYC burger obsession.
