"Fifteen different kinds of burgers dominate the menu at Whitmans, but the best thing at this East Village spot is their cheesesteak. The soft bread is slightly toasted, the beef is a little crispy, and the charred onions are the perfect middle ground between crunchy and wilted. A Swiss and American cheese blend makes each bite a wonderful gooey amalgamation of every ingredient." - kenny yang, bryan kim
"Unsurprisingly, the first thing you’ll see when you walk into this East Village spot is a picture of Walt Whitman. Most of the decor is Americana, with flags and Revolutionary War-era prints throughout. This place serves salads, one of the best cheesesteaks in town, and 15 different burgers, all of which are fairly large and cost around $15. We recommend the Juicy Lucy—but eat it fast before the pimento cheese cools and gets too gritty. If it’s crowded upstairs, head to the basement where there’s more seating and a stack of board games. No one here will mind if you order a few cans of beer and start a long game of Monopoly. photo credit: Ryan Muir" - Kenny Yang
"Another solid burger and bar food option is Whitman’s on East 9th Street. This part of the block stays relatively calm, so keep this in mind when you decide you are no longer interested in loud noises and people drinking pitchers of margaritas." - hannah albertine, matt tervooren
"Though they’re famous for the Juicy Lucy (two hamburger patties sandwiched around a dollop of pimiento cheese), we actually like the Turkey Burger best (fried egg on top optional). They offer pretty much everything else we’ve ever craved for lunch, including an excellent kale salad (along with requisite kale chips), sweet potato fries, and the perfect grilled cheese."
"The Juicy Lucy is a Minneapolis masterpiece. The sandwich, which is a cheeseburger with cheese inside the meat rather than on top of the patty, is available at Whitmans, which has locations in the East Village, Hudson Yards, and Soho. This restaurant is known for its indulgent burgers and offers two different renditions of the Minnesota classic: The original, of course, but also a blue cheese-stuffed alternative." - Andy Hirschfeld
