    Top notch burger. Had a relaxed late lunch there on a pre-pandemic NYC visit. Marrow bones were a great appetizer too.

    Another superlative video. You continue to outdo yourselves. So beautifully shot and presented. I never realized that Minetta Tavern had closed for a year. Have been going there for decades. I do believe that they serve the best burger in NYC.

    Gotta get yourselves out to Red Hook in Brooklyn and Rolo's in Queens. Two legendary burgers, the Rolo's one is harder to get during dinner since I think they only make a limited number. They offer it for brunch on the weekends though

    I've heard that their burger was the best in the city, and you just affirmed it. I also liked the idea that they automatically served Bernaise with the steak. A nice touch...my favorite to have with steak. As always, thanks for a great review.

    Another great video, guys! I was just there 2 weeks ago, and Keith McNally is a bad ass. That's a great burger to indulge in, and I love their steaks. Another place to check out is Uncle Jack's Steakhouse. There's 2 locations, the UWS, and Bayside. As I grew up in Bayside, I'll often visit that location for one of my guilty pleasure, their Black Truffle Burger. Definitely worth a visit for you guys, and it tends to be under the radar... And, I appreciate that some evenings. Thanks as always, guys!

      We've never tried their cote de boeuf but have heard amazing things. We'll have to go back. It can be somewhat difficult to get a reservation during prime hours but it's much easier than it was a few years ago. Nowadays you can pretty much always find something if you are a little flexible on time

    I had the burger there years ago and I remember it being excellent!! Worth the money. Minetta Tavern is a Greenwich Village classic. It’s top notch. I loved Chumley’s and their burger. It was pure decadence!! It was fabulous too. Cheaper options are the burgers at Peter McManus on 7th Avenue and the gay bar Julius in the West Village. All are very good! I’ve been to Peter Luger’s and in my opinion it’s overrated.

    Quick question for you Kristin, why do you have your fork in your left hand when you cut the steak, but switch it to your right hand to feed yourself?? Also, this is a general statement, I don't know what it is with reviewers on UA-cam, but why oh why do you talk and chew at the same time, that is basically a massive negative for manners. Almost everyone on YT is guilty of this. Really enjoy your videos though and like your commentary, just giving a few hints on how to make your video a bit more polished.I know that young people these days don't have nearly the manners that their parents do/did, I have seen in at every restaurant that I go to, it doesn't matter whether that is in NYC, Dallas, Las Vegas, San Francisco, LA/Bevery Hills, Miami.etc.. Keep up the great reviews, really enjoyed. your Las Vegas content.
