Known for NYC best burgers, this UES pub favorite's overpriced unexceptional burgers (by SoCal standards) and cash-only policy disappoint true burger connoisseurs. There is only one In-N-Out! Try the Cottage Fries. $$ more

Your typical Tavern where burgers and beer are staples. Popular among upper-east-side locals, there's always a wait for a table. The burgers are juicy - I'll give 'em that much, but worth an hours wait...I say nay. more
