By now, if you’re a regular reader of this site then you have pretty much figured out my rules for what qualifies as a true Midtown Lunch.  The most important rule is probably the one about the meal costing under $10, but I fully admit that sometimes this rule isn’t always clear.  Does that mean with tax […]

This amazingness is no more.
This is the part of my job I like the least… much like a cop telling a parent their kid is dead I have the unfortunate job of letting everyone know that Goodburger has discontinued selling breakfast.  This means no more breakfast burger over a bed of hash browns topped with an […]

Before you get too excited about the newly opened, slightly out of bounds 5 Napkin Burger in Hell’s Kitchen that Lunch’er Janine has been stalking- you should know a few things.  1.  They won’t be open for lunch until at least next week.  2.  From the looks of the dinner menu, I don’t think this […]

Adam Kuban is all about Midtown this week! Yesterday, we linked to his post on Slice about Angelo’s, and today he posts about the burger at the Brooklyn Diner (57th btw. 7+8th).  Even better… it’s a lunch he shared with our very own Profiled Midtown Lunch’er “Lawrence” (aka Superman aka NYC Food Guy).  Once again it’s out […]

At the end of March, there was a little bit of craziness when the owners of Abitino’s Pizza opened City Burger on 39th & Broadway, serving patties made with meat from Pat LaFrieda’s, the much praised butcher who supplies the Shake Shack with their beef. It also helped that the place popped up in a […]

*** Since this piece was written, breakfast Has Been Discontinued at Goodburger***
As you know, I don’t really write about breakfast in Midtown, mostly because I don’t eat breakfast in Midtown.  Lunch is more my thing.  But occasionally something will come along that just demands to be written about.  Like this, which I noticed on Goodburger’s Breakfast menu:

Whaaaa???  Are […]

With so many quality burger places open in Midtown these days, each place needs it’s own special thing to differentiate themselves from the others.  The way I see it, Burger Joint has the sweet location, Five Guys is for free toppings and freshly cut fries, Pop Burger is the choice if you want sliders, and while the newly opened City Burger […]

It seems like every day I’m posting one of these.  First it was the buffets, and then Del Frisco’s raised the price of their steak tips deal.  Now, the incredibly popular Burger Joint, “hidden” in the lobby of the Parker Meridien Hotel on 56th btw. 6+7th, has raised their prices.  That’s right- the hamburger that you voted “Best […]

Even though I posted about City Burger’s grand opening yesterday morning, I was out of town, so I missed out.  City Burger’s Day 2, on the other hand, rivaled Five Guys on opening week.  Super long wait times, a large crowd of pretty unhappy people, and a staff struggling to learn the ropes, while simutaneously […]

On Friday, I got word from the owners of Abitino’s (a generic take out pizza place with multiple locations in Midtown) that City Burger, their newest venture (on 39th just east of Broadway) will finally open today. As I reported in Feburary, the menu and prices are on par with GoodBurger, with the addition of […]
