Burger Joint at Le Parker Meridien
Restaurants at pricey hotels like Le Parker Meridien don't often have waiters who wear their own T-shirts saying 'Brooklyn'. Nor do they have industrial-size cans of ketchup and plastic bags of supermarket hamburger buns stacked on open shelves.
But you'll find all this in the Parker Meridien's wood-paneled coffee shop, which has a few vinyl booths, a counter with an open kitchen, and sports photos tacked on the walls. Called the "burger joint,".
I'd heard of this place from friends, and finally got the chance to go on a recent foray over to NYC. IT'S SUCH A GREAT EXPERIENCE - If you have ever imagined, dreamed about or salivated over just how you should have a burger in the Big Apple - this is the no frills place for you that makes the Burgers the all the American Hero of the story.
