Here's an email we recently received in the AHT inbox. You can drop us a line at burger@seriouseats.com with all your questions and suggestions.

I am visiting New York for the first time this March and wanted to know which burgers you recommend as must eats.

Aside from Shake Shack I don't know what else I must try. Also, I'm staying in Brooklyn.

Although the Serious Eats community has recently weighed in about their favorite burgers in Talk and on Serious Eats New York, Travis's question gives a good opportunity for those of us behind AHT to share our favorite burgers in the city (and share some burger porn you may have missed over the years). Here are our favorites aside from Shake Shack, which we all love.
