Frank Bruni on Neglected Burgers in NYC

Posted by Robyn Lee, August 26, 2009 at 9:00 AM

Over at New York Times blog Diner's Journal, departing restaurant critic Frank Bruni shares some last bits of restaurant advice, including recommendations for a few good burgers that have been neglected:

I think the lunchtime burger at Union Square Cafe is terrific—and a thicker-patty alternative to the burger at the Shake Shack, another burger peddler in the Danny Meyer empire.
The burger at James, in the Prospect Heights section of Brooklyn, is impressive on a good night. And the burger at Monkey Bar, while overpriced, packs some of the same aged-beef wallop so widely noted in the burger at Minetta Tavern.

Sounds like AHT has a few places to add to its "To Review" list.
