New York Restaurants - Not For Turists Review

It is always a hard time trying to find the best restaurants in Manhattan.  At almos all times you finish your search with a Zagat or Michellin guide on your hands, and many times more you finish going to the same restaurants as usual.

NFT (Not for Turists) website compiled a list of really nice restaurants, and divided into: cheap, hit, old, pizza, ethnic, meat, meatless, expensive and their favorite.

This doesn't mean that you will retire your restaurant guides, but for sure it is a better way to start. I went to a lot of restaurants mentioned by NFT and I can assure you that their list is pretty decent in all categories (which sometimes are forgotten by the guides).

Corner Bistro - The Home of the Bistro Burger

A long time before restaurants started to cook hamburgers as gourmet food, Corner Bistro was there. Treating hamburger as hamburger, but giving to it the taste and the place as it deserves.

Figuring on 10 of 10 lists of best burger in NYC, Corner Bistro remains untouchable. It is just a perfect spot for a perfect cooked hamburger or a Bistro Burger (as it is called there). The Bistro Burger is actually a bacon cheeseburger, with artisanal hamburger cooked the way you like it.

My way? Medium rare.

Bistro Burger with Fries and Dark Mc Sorley's

The side fries are amazing! Crunchy and not a deposit of oil, it makes your meal special.

What more I could say? BEERS!

With a good variety of beers, my top choice is a $2.5 Mc Sorley's Dark (they have the ale as well).  Mc Sorley’s is a local Brewery established in West Village in 1854 (http://www.mcsorleysnewyork.com/).

Corner bistro is located at: 331 W 4th St (at corner w/ Jane Street)

Just one more thing to remember: They don’t accept credit card, so bring money!

How many bars have glasses with shape of beer?

Don't ask for the menu - Look at the wall.
