The Best Veggie Burger | Brooklyn Diner Times Square New York Review
December 03, 2016
I stood outside of the Eugene O’Neil theatre, hungry, after watching a Sunday evening performance of The Book of Mormon. If you haven’t seen the show, add it to your Broadway to do list. It is a must. It’s hilarious! I digress, let’s talk about one of my other favorite pastimes, eating.
When I’m hungry it is hard for me to focus on anything thing else but food. Although NYC is known as the “city that never sleeps” the options for delicious eats that are semi-healthy have a bedtime on Sundays. I had no idea where to eat so, Bae and I decided to start walking towards our Times Square hotel. We hit W 43rd St and then we saw the lights…Brooklyn Diner. I had not actually heard anything about this place, but we decided that it was probably a good choice since diners usually have a varied menu. However, we worried that we might be limited since we were searching for meatless meal options. We were greeted by the host/manager, not really sure who he was but he greeted us professionally, seated us, and gave us menus.
We quickly reviewed the menu to find something to eat. My eyes stopped at the “Burgers” section where it is noted that Brooklyn Diner had “Best Burger in New York” by Gael Greene, New York Magazine. We spotted the veggie burger, menu description: ” veggie burger, guacamole, Tillamook cheddar, tomato, lettuce, aioli” and decided to order that.
Brooklyn Diner - The Best Burger in New York
I didn’t expect what was delivered to the table. This burger looked a mile high! My friend and I looked at each other and said in unison, “How do you eat this!?!” The burger was not your typical soy based veggie burger. It was a quinoa and black bean based burger and it was juicy.
I’m sure the “Best Burger in New York” title was referring to the burgers made with beef, but I would say that this accolade extends to the veggie burger as well. It is definitely worth raving about. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Looking for a place to dine? Sink your teeth into a delicious veggie burger or try the other items on the menu at Brooklyn Diner the next time you’re in NYC.
