"Jackson Hole’s original location has been serving gigantic, messy burgers to Upper East Siders since 1972. Their Astoria location (featured in Goodfellas) is a chrome-and-vinyl diner fantasy, but the winding hallways of the original make it feel like a true neighborhood spot. They do 24 different burger variations here, but the classic is a solid starting point. Add curly or waffle fries, $5.75" - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, sonal shah

"Not only is autumn Jackson Hole’s best-kept secret, but it’s also one of the best times to check out Grand Teton National Park. The aspen and cottonwood trees turn bright yellow and gold, making for a stunning contrast to the Teton Range in the distance, and the hoards of travelers trying to find parking around Jenny Lake disperse. Plus, wildlife tours can be extra exciting as the elk rut takes place from mid-September through October, and bears make an appearance as they get ready to go into hibernation." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Listen, if you wanted to come to Jackson Hole just because it has a cameo in Goodfellas, we’d understand. If you wanted to come to Jackson Hole for the impeccable neon and chrome aesthetic, we’d get that, too. But this classic mid-century joint originally known as the Airline Diner (it’s a 10-minute drive from LaGuardia), has also earned plenty of admirers for its burgers. The massive, juicy seven-ounce patties are available in more than 20 preparations, and they’re all very easy to like. The rest of the food is average diner fare, but between those burgers and the 1950s time-capsule atmosphere—complete with the mini-jukebox on your table—this place is worth a stop on a long layover, or just to nurse a hangover. Food Rundown Western Burger Order this only if you’re prepared to immediately take a nap. It has melted jack cheese, BBQ sauce, bacon, and fried onions. Get it as a platter for some crispy and formidable steak fries." - Molly Fitzpatrick
