I booked a three-night stay in a hotel right next to Times Square to celebrate New Year’s Eve with my wife, and I can comfortably say that Burger Man offered an experience we will never forget.
First things first, the food was excellent. Our first choice was the mushroom and truffle burger, and I can confidently say it was a perfect 10. Everything, from the bun to the patty and the sauces, complemented each other exceptionally well. A must try. Other great savory options we tried were the sweet potato wedges, chicken honey BBQ burger, cheeseburger (I highly recommend going for the double patty), and the meat lovers flatbread. You really can’t go wrong with any of these. For those who are curious, the place is halal.
We were so impressed that we ended up coming back twice for breakfast. We tried the salmon on an everything bagel and the chocolate croissant, and both were absolute home runs. As for drinks, we kept it simple with cappuccinos and americanos, and they hit the spot every time.
The service deserves credit of its own. The owner Ali and his staff (special shoutouts to Hala and Abdallah) were tremendous from start to finish. We booked a table at the restaurant for New Year’s Eve at a very reasonable price, and being right on 7th Avenue, we had an amazing outdoor view of the NYC ball drop without having to endure standing in crowds for more than 10 hours. Ali went above and beyond by keeping us informed about the logistical changes happening on 7th Avenue throughout the evening, and he made sure we knew our options if we wanted to get closer to Times Square as midnight approached.
The staff were relentless in making sure we were as comfortable as possible. The hospitality was genuine, warm, and consistent, and we truly felt right at home.
Last but not least, the atmosphere was unforgettable. The place was buzzing all day, and even NYPD officers stopped by frequently for a quick bite or a cup of coffee. We will always remember the friendly conversations we had with other customers. While New Year’s Eve can get chaotic, it never affected the vibe here. It remained celebratory, welcoming, and positive throughout the entire night.
