Joe Jr.

The 17 Best Diners In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"Almost everybody at Joe Junior gets the burger, which costs $7.30 and is exactly the kind of burger you’d hope for at a summer cookout if the person hosting knew their way around a grill. At this Gramercy diner, you can watch a cook flip the patty, layer it with cheese, then add bacon from a towering plate that sits precariously above the grill—or get a tuna melt, which we like even more. Joe's is tiny, the tables are taken up by returning customers, and the decor consists mostly of things that guests have left behind: Lost glasses hover above the cash register, and forgotten keys hang on hooks over the counter." - willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, bryan kim, neha talreja, sonal shah
