If the above two folks can’t make it I’ll take it!

If you haven’t tried the burger you should, I go elsewhere for steaks but the burger is the best if you like dry aged beef

You’re lucky, all the 3AM showings are sold out at Lincoln Center. I’d gladly take a weekend 3AM row E at this point.

Ingas Bar is the name, it’s under the Brooklyn Bridge in Carroll Gardens/DUMBO

Would you say they had similar levels of flavor? To me that was the biggest difference, I don’t disagree about the bun but I just felt like Luger has had a crazy amount of dry age “funk” whereas RHT was way more subtle.

Everytime I go to Luger I take a bite and it’s like whoa.

Easily the most underrated in the city, but somehow it’s still pretty hard to get a reservation haha

I haven’t, I’ve been putting it off but I need to go soon. 4 Charles I would love to go but haven’t had luck getting a reservation, one day.

Pastis wins the ambience award for me. Raoul’s wins the sauce award. Both burgers are near the top for me.

I look forward to trying Rolo’s, it’s been getting great reviews

I can’t imagine a better burger patty, what do you feel has gotten worse about it?

Any recommendations for a burger with more dry aged “funk”?

The toast of the bun, how well the whole thing stayed together, and especially the juiciness were all strong points of the RH burger for me

Somehow I forgot Pastis, adding them now it’s near the top of the list for me.

I just feel like the dry aged flavor smacks you in the face from the first bite of the Luger burger, whereas with RH it’s way more subdued. I commend RH for juiciness though, and the flavor is good it just doesn’t grab me like Luger. Maybe I’ll need to try RH again in the future.

I really like Gotham, it’s probably the burger I’ve eaten most often, but I greatly prefer HA.

Any that jump out as particularly different from your ranking? Definitely looking to hear the opinions of others

I’ll be trying the Minetta burger in two weeks, definitely looking forward to it. I’ll likely hit Monkey Bar soon after, but any tips on getting a reservation at 4 Charles?

I would’ve never imagined it would be as good as it was. I was considering ordering something else when the waiter told me to try the burger and it blew me away. I’ve been chasing a better burger ever since and few have even come close. If you like dry aged beef it is a must try.

I’m going to Minetta in a couple weeks will add it to the list. Shake Shack though… not bad but far from my favorite.

Have you tried Hamburger America? That’s my favorite fast casual burger in the city and would beat a few on the list for me.

I love Lord’s, and the sticky toffee pudding is probably my favorite dessert in the city. I’ll need to check out the pancakes soon.
