Corner Bistro

It's a bit of a random experience the first time you order a burger in the US and they ask you how you would like it cooked (eg rare, medium, charcoal etc). The burger places in NYC tend to make these monster patties and not the thin style ones we're used to back in Oz. The debate about where you can get the best burger is sometimes as passionate as to where you can get the best Pizza (Angelo's on 57th if you want my opinion). Well without a doubt our fav burger place is Corner Bistro in the West Village, Outside the fact it's across the road their Bistro Burger is a glutones feast of carnivorous proportions.


It's simply some meat, lettuce, tomato, cheese and onion but what makes it special is the crispy deep fried bacon. Covered with mustard and ketchup (translated dead horse) this thing is a monster. Hoegaarden on draft also makes any visit to this dive bar wanna be mecca of burgology a well rewarded experience.
