Whitman's

Known for their famous "Juicy Lucy" burger, this small yet cozy burger joint brings together delicious ingredients and great cooking techniques. Don't expect a classic burger - a pimiento cheese stuffed patty is what you'll encounter at this East Village joint. Pay attention to their warning in the menu: Juicy Lucy is very hot in the middle and might squirt.

PS. Their french fries topped with blue cheese are also VERY recommended.
