Gotham Burger Social Club recently popped up at Wallensky’s Grill and had a line around the block for its popular smash burgers. It is best to visit them on their Instagram to see where they will be popping up next.  

7^th Street Burger (Multiple Locations) is the place to hit when you are hankering a cheeseburger, double cheeseburger or Impossible.  All arrive with grilled onions, American cheese, pickles and house sauce. They just added a new location on the Upper East Side.
