Hidden behind a thick curtain in the lobby of this glossy midtown hotel lies this bizarre little greasy burger nook. The Burger Joint has saved me from starvation so many times - during Christmas shopping trips, after the opera or a concert at Carnegie Hall, after a day of museum-hopping and/or tourist-hosting. They have a super limited menu and all sorts of rules about ordering, but it's worth it. The line is long, but there always seem to be seats available just when you need them. The beer is cold, the fries are crispy, the burgers are juicy, and all the fixins are applied with care. They're thick, but not so thick they won't fit into a normal-sized mouth - a perfect quick and delicious meal. I would go to this place no matter where it happened to be, but it is a godsend in the overproduced and overpriced restaurant world of midtown.
