This has been my local joint for 5+ years. Fantastic staff, unpretentious atmosphere and great burgers.
Crazy good food and awesome place to hang out!!! Try the royale with cheese, a special burger blended to perfection.
I was around Alphabet City and had a bit too much too drink, but my friends and I were starving and a nice, juicy burger seemed just the ticket. This joint is more of a bar/burger place than anything, but don't let that fool you. I opted for a good old bacon cheeseburger and was shocked at how good it was. Meat was perfectly cooked, not greasy and they did a great job loading up the burger with plenty of veggies and fries. I shared some chicken wings which were also delicious and not overly greasy, but man, they were burning hot coming out of the fryer so proceed carefully! Can't recommend this place enough and looking forward to trying it again when I come back into town!
Piggy backs! Great bar. Ask for Aviva.
Great burgers. A comfy little bar that makes a mean burger! Bring cash as they don't take credit cards.
We hit up a bunch of places, starting with Royale. This was a bar in the East Village that was really simple and good. It reminded me of Charlie Beinlich's without all of the blue hair brigade. They have this great, secluded back patio too. The burgers were cooked properly and very juicy.
Eager to continue my unabashed assault on burger joints in the East Village, I went to Royale (157 Avenue C @ 10th Street). This has become one of my favorite burger bars in the 'hood, but I've always been sans camera (or mental capacity) to actually blog
