The cheeseburger is a true American classic, and with only surfacing in the early 20th century, it has become a staple of fast food and diners across the country. Being such a simple recipe, it’s really hard to find a bad cheeseburger, but it is rare to perfect the craft. This is where Paul’s Da Burger Joint from Manhattan comes into the picture. Widely recognized as having some of the best burgers in New York, tourists and locals alike flock to Paul’s.

Paul's can be found on 131 2nd Ave on Manhattan Island. It was founded in 1989 and is family-operated to this day.
