Superiority Burger

"There are a lot of great veggie burgers in NYC, but Superiority Burger’s is the only one we’ve seen with actual groupies. The beloved East Village diner describes their food as “vegetarian” and “accidentally vegan,” which just means you’ll see some cheese and labneh on the menu, and the gelato isn’t dairy-free—but vegans have plenty of options too. If you’re good with dairy, our favorite sandwich is the focaccia stuffed with braised collard greens and cheese. This place is always a scene, plastered with homages to the neighborhood, and filled with every East Village type you’ll ever encounter. Don’t skip dessert.
