"Chef Kwame Onwuachi's patty-focused concept, which debuted as a patty stand at Citi Field, is expanding into a permanent takeout booth at the forthcoming food hall near Union Square and will run a summer stand in the performance-venue plaza serving curried chicken patties." - Emma Orlow
"This trailer parked at St. Elmo Brewing Company makes our favorite smashburger in town. It’s well-seasoned, the bun is toasted nicely, and there’s just enough cheese, pickles, and special sauce to prevent the thin patties from getting too dry. This is the smashburger that other smashburgers aspire to be more like. Even better, you can turn the stretch of bars and restaurants surrounding Patty Palace into an all-day crawl like we once did." - matthew jacobs, nicolai mccrary
"Patty Palace at The Yard makes our favorite smashburger in town. It also wins the award for “Thinnest Patty That Might Get Mistaken For An Ancient Piece Of Papyrus.” These patties are almost paper-thin with a dark crust that looks like it’s bordering on burnt but without the accompanying bitterness. It’s well-seasoned, the bun is toasted nicely, and there’s just enough special sauce to prevent those thin patties from feeling too dry." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion, matthew jacobs
"Located adjacent to St. Elmo Brewing Company, this food truck is all about smash burgers. In fact, it’s the only option here. The namesake burger layers two griddled patties with sharp cheddar, a smoky Royal sauce, grilled onions, and just enough crunch from house pickles. The $10 vegan burger is also a worthy order and slightly thicker than the beefy version. Grab a pint of St. Elmo Carl and go to town on the shaded picnic tables. Must-try dish: The fried onion petals, which are served with a side of Zesty sauce." - Darcie Duttweiler
" Sometimes you want a thick, juicy burger with a little ribbon of pink through the middle. Other times you just want a patty that’s smashed so thin it might get mistaken for an ancient piece of papyrus. Patty Palace is for when you want the latter. It’s a lot like the popular Bad Larry Burger pop-up, but without the need to set an alarm and wait in a long line to get it. That means super-smashed patties with crispy lattice edges, grilled onions, a few slices of pickles, and some mustard or special sauce. And, instead of waiting for an Instagram alert, you can get it almost any night of the week and pair it with whatever beer you want from St. Elmo Brewing, where Patty Palace is parked.
