FIVE NAPKIN BURGER: 45TH ST. AND 9TH AVE., NEW YORK
4/10/2009
In town for the New York International Show, where I decided my next car should be a 2010 Porsche 911 Targa 4S, I had to stop at nearby Five Napkin Burger for my Good Friday lunch.
The Hell’s Kitchen burger joint is on everybody’s short-list of haute-burger spots in New York and for good reason. The classic burger, smothered in comte cheese, caramelized onion and rosemary aioli, is dynamite. [Substituting the Tuscan fries seasoned with loads of garlic and rosemary for the standard shoestring variety, is a good move.]
Five Napkin has the added bonus of being across the street from Rudy’s Bar and Grill, where you can enjoy the mix of pickled regulars, younger hipsters [and everybody in between], chug some of the signature Rudy’s Red, dare your friends to eat the free popcorn and hotdogs or enjoy a fine day in the air-shaft patio.
Good times.
