Best Burgers in Manhattan

Manhattan dominates the Burgerverse rankings, and it should. The borough is home to the densest concentration of top-tier burgers on Earth, from the Pantheon-tier burgers at 4 Charles (9.5) in the West Village and Nowon (9.5) in the East Village to Gotham's smash burger (9.4) on the Lower East Side and Chez Margaux (9.4) in the Meatpacking District. The West Village alone has 25 ranked burgers including 4 of the city's top ten. But Manhattan's depth is what separates it. We've ranked 92 burgers across 15+ neighborhoods, and you can find a great option in almost every zip code south of 96th Street. Whether you're after a quick smash for under $10 or a dry-aged patty at a reservations-only supper club, Manhattan has the burger.
