"Petey’s is a small restaurant in Astoria that’s been serving affordable burgers since 2008. (There’s a second branch in Long Island City.) Anticipating the trend by more than a decade, it makes a near-perfect smash burger without calling it one: thin patties are charred on the surface but remain miraculously juicy inside. With a skateboard theme, the dining room is particularly comfy for a burger joint." - Robert Sietsema, Eater Staff
