Gotham Burger in Manhattan serves up perfectly smashed, flavorful burgers in a lively, welcoming atmosphere that’s a must-visit for any burger lover.
"If Gotham Burger Social Club’s double smashburger had its own Instagram account, it would probably post a photo of its brown, griddled bun with the caption “So I did a thing.” Lots of places toast the inside of their buns for a buttery crisp, but GBSC on the Lower East Side toasts the exterior of the top bun, then layers it with lacy, caramelized beef patties, steamed onions, pickles and pickled jalapeños, plus a slice of gooey american cheese. The result is a textural wonderland." - will hartman, bryan kim, neha talreja, willa moore, kenny yang
"A burger joint with a small-town-diner feel that blends into NYC's hustle and bustle. Mike Puma ensures every burger with grilled onions, American cheese, and housemade pickles is smashed to perfection."
"Following years of pop-ups, Mike Puma makes burgers for the modern age in his standalone location. Those burgers wear any combination of onions, jalapenos, bread-and-butter pickles, mustard, ketchup, and burger sauce. If you want, you can have one with an Aperol Spritz or a chopped cheese taco on the side. Seen here: Gwyneth Paltrow, Zoe Kravitz, Nicholas Braun, Benny Blanco, Selena Gomez, Nicky Hilton, and Mario Cantone." - Deuxmoi
"Your Order: Double Gotham Smash ($12) with everything, and an order of frickles ($8).

"Gotham Burger Social Club is different from other smash burgers. Instead of leaning into simplicity — cheese, patty, bun — it heaps on mustard, ketchup, burger sauce, pickles, jalapeños, and griddled onions, too, for one of the best burgers in town. One other way it’s different: You can order one with an old-school egg cream or a side of fried pickles. This storefront opened on the Lower East Side at the start of the year: before that, owner Mike Puma ran Gotham Burger Social Club at pop-ups across town." - Robert Sietsema, Eater Staff
