"On your first few trips to the city, you’re going to spend an inappropriate amount of time in Midtown. (Hit Broadway, skip the M&M's store.) For a quick lunch within walking distance of Times Square and the Theater District, snag yourself a stool at Lovely’s Old Fashioned. The 10-seat burger joint has a retro ’50s theme à la Johnny Rockets, but this place isn’t a gimmick. Sit at the counter, watch a cook in a white paper hat work a crowded griddle, and enjoy one of the best sub-$10 burgers you’ll find on the Eastern Seaboard." - bryan kim, will hartman, willa moore, sonal shah, neha talreja
