Mapping New York City’s Best Lamb Dishes - Eater NY

"Let’s face it: The Cafe Breslin’s famous lamb burger is usually spoken of as the best in town, thick and juicy and presented with real distinction on a wooden cutting board with a serrated carving knife. That place has been closed since the pandemic and nothing else can quite compete, though this entry in the lamb burger sweepstakes from a little corner cafe in the West Village comes pretty close. The burger is thick and striped from the grill, the tomatoes themselves charred for extra oomph, and a whipped-up gob of feta proves itself better than mayo. The fries that come alongside, a complete necessity where all burgers are concerned, are also very presentable. I wish the burger were on a regular bun instead of a too-crusty baguette — but you can’t have everything." - Robert Sietsema
