Burger Club Becomes Poster Child for Bad Aerosmith Song at Burger Joint

I would like to point out the fact that I am a woman. I may not be a voluptuous knockout, but I do have long hair and boobs. Before continuing, I should also point out that the Burger Joint is in Le Parker Merdian Hotel, and if you have to use the bathroom, you must ask for a key from the concierge. Which is what I did. I asked for the key to the LADIES room. So as I slid the key across the desk to the concierge, it came as a great surprise when he replied, "Thank you, SIR." Granted, I was wearing a flannel shirt (it was cinched at the waist!) and my hair was pulled back (I was wearing dangly earrings!). But is this all it takes to make me look like a dude? What if I am the reverse of the Aerosmith song "Dude Looks Like a Lady?" Wait for it...wait for it...is this song now stuck in your head too? Muahaha, (evil laughter). Anyway, I digress.

Burgers. The Burger Joint is a classic standard when it comes to burgers. In fact, if you do not like burgers, do not go there because their menu consists of burgers, fries, brownies, milkshakes, and beer. The burgers are grilled to order, option of cheese and/or "The Works" (all toppings) and placed lovingly on an Arnold's bun. The French fries are served in a brown paper bag, not to be confused with another favorite brown paper bag special of mine, 40's. The brownies look like brown sponges (must have changed up the recipe) but taste richer than they look. They call your order out by name, so no need to worry about mistaken gender pronouns, like sir or mister.

I fell in love with the Burger Joint the first time I discovered it. I
think that's part of its charm, you have to find it first. But once you
do...awesomeness!! Its hidden behind a curtain in the fancy Parker
Meridien hotel with only a small neon sign in the shape of a burger to
point it out. If you go during peak hours its much easier to locate
since the line snakes out into the lobby. So avoid peak hours to avoid
the line and the chances of getting into a seat fight with German
tourists, right Bex? But if you find yourself in line, check out the
walls which have names scrawled onto the bricks. Look for Ashton
Kutcher's name, you can't miss it. And speaking of celebs we hear
that SNL sometimes has their after-after parties there.

Then there is the burger, which for me is almost as good as Shake
Shack. I always get the double. Or the double gets me, I haven't
decided. The burger to bun ratio is right on. The fries are decent.
And there are squeeze ketchup bottles at all the tables. Simple yet
perfect.

I think the Burger Joint is a great place to show off to friends
visiting or if you find yourself in upper midtown late one night.

So messy, so delicious.
