THE place to get a burger
So Long, along with Cox, are the strongest local restaurants in Manhattan. So Long has by far the best burgers in town, and they are pretty cheap too ($5-7). The two major drawbacks of this place are that they are closed on Mondays and that the restaurant is very small so they are always packed (so expect at least a 30 minute wait unless you are eating at an off time). But if you are visiting Manhattan you must eat here at least once, you will not be disappointed. (Oh yeah, for all you vegetarians, all their normal burgers can be made into portabella burgers... or buffalo burgers... but I guess that last one is not really a vegetarian thing.)
