The NYC Smashburger Power Rankings - New York - The Infatuation

"Your Order: The Hot Mess ($10.50), sweet yam fries ($4.75), and a milkshake ($6), because they have shake in their name and it seems wrong not to. You can, of course, eat an excellent smashburger at Harlem Shake, but you can also hang out in the retro diner-like space while doing so. There’s usually a band jamming on Sundays, a large sidewalk patio for summertime milkshake sipping, and it’s open until 2am on the weekends. Get the Hot Mess burger, which follows their standard double patty practice, but adds pickled cherry pepper and bacon relish, american cheese, and chipotle mayo. They also have a location in Park Slope for any Brooklyn burger cravings, and a Harlem Shake Express in LIC where you order your burger at a kiosk and pick it up from a locker." - willa moore, neha talreja, will hartman, bryan kim
