HighLife Burger

Quality fast food served until late at HighLife - Review - New York - The Infatuation

"At Electric Burrito, the fries come inside your tortilla, but at HighLife, their burger spot, they come loaded with queso and dill pickles. Located right around the corner from the Cali burrito spot’s original East Village location, HighLife is serving up a simple menu of thin-patty (not smashed) burgers, hot dogs, and fries. Unfortunately, the champagne of beers is not for sale here. Their burgers taste like a homemade version of a quarter pounder with cheese, or an In-N-Out Double-Double, and we mean that in an absolutely complimentary way. There’s no big secret to their secret sauce, no toppings that you’ve never seen before—this is just a great version of American fast food joints, made with high-quality ingredients by hand. The counter service spot has no seating, and is open until 1am (and 3am on the weekends), so keep it in mind for after you’ve had a few Miller High Lifes. Food Rundown HighLife Burger Offered as a single or double (we prefer a single, but won’t fault you if you’re hungry), the burger’s thin patty is well-seasoned, and it’s topped with onion, crunchy lettuce, and juicy tomato. It looks like an emoji version of a burger, and kind of tastes like one too. It’s not going to blow your mind, but it is a great version of something simple and classic—and it hits even harder the later it gets. photo credit: Will Hartman Hot Dog It’s a hot dog, griddled to perfection. Nothing more, nothing less. You can get it with queso though, if you’re into that sort of thing. We are. photo credit: Will Hartman Fries With Pickle Queso A sort of approximation to In-N-Out’s animal-style fries, these loaded spuds are coated in rich queso, a mayo-forward special sauce, and a bunch of chopped dill pickles and pickled jalapeños. If you’re coming here after the bar with a group, get an order to share. photo credit: Will Hartman" - Will Hartman
