Where To Get A No-Fuss Burger

"Imitation is the finest form of flattery at this East Village spot with a dry-aged, cheese-topped burger that looks a lot like the one at Red Hook Tavern, and tastes somewhat like it too. We even saw RHT’s owner there once, possibly checking out the competition. Lions is busy during the weekend, but on weeknights it's a calm watering hole, where Jack White and The Black Keys are the soundtrack for rounds of $5 lagers." - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, sonal shah
