Le Parker Meridien is a fancy hotel. With a fancy restaurant called Norma’s that supposedly has a fabulous brunch that I will hopefully be lucky enough one day to try for myself.
But Le Parker Meridien also has a secret divey hamburger joint inside it as well. And it’s called Burger Joint. Also, it’s not so secret anymore. The first time I tried to go it was at lunch time during the week and I walked in with my coworker and we walked right back out because the line in the lobby was HUGE.
*Also, Anthony Bourdain recently blew up the spot even more on his NYC episode of The Layover, my new favorite show.
But, when I had my family in town we wake up super early and get out the door super early which makes us the first in line for a lot of things. In fact, Burger Joint wasn’t even open yet. But eventually it was and we got inside and snagged a booth first thing.
The menu is not so huge, obviously. You’re there for the burger. The messy, messy burger:
Oh, yes. I love hamburgers. The fries were good too.
The only bummer was that they currently weren’t making shakes when we were in.
Dang, guess I’ll have to go back.
