The best way to have beer and a burger. Period.

You can’t make a reservation for a table at Corner Bistro—you just have to be willing to wait in line next to the bar for a while. But this genius setup lets you chat with your friends, drink some beer, and by the time there’s a table for you, all you want is a burger. And they serve one of the best burgers in Manhattan. Big, juicy, and surprisingly affordable, there’s a reason their burgers keep winning awards. The Bistro Burger is of course the best, adding bacon to their already-exceptional burger.

Rumor has it they cook the bacon with the fries, so when you get a side of fries, you’re getting another chance to taste heaven.
