New York’s Best Hamburger Is Served by Peter Luger, Zagat Says

Peter Luger serves the best burger in New York, followed by Burger Joint, Zagat said today in its first such survey, based on flavor, value and ingredients.
Minetta Tavern, B&B Winepub, Spotted Pig, and Umami Burger follow, all scoring 22 points, against 24 for Peter Luger and 23 for Burger Joint. DuMont Burger, Shake Shack and Keens score 21, while J.G Melon takes 10th place, with 20.
Peter Luger’s Luger-Burger and Minetta Tavern’s Black Label are top for flavor and ingredients, while Burger Joint scores for value, Zagat said in an e-mailed release.
The best new restaurant in New York is Sushi Nakazawa, in
the West Village, while Eric Ripert’s Le Bernardin retains its crown as top for food for a sixth year, according to Zagat. Daniel leads for decor and Gramercy Tavern is most popular.
By specialty, the winners are: Mighty Quinn’s/Barbecue; La Colombe/Coffee; Red Farm/Dim Sum; Ample Hills/Ice Cream; Pearl Oyster Bar/Lobster Roll; Paulie Gee’s/Pizza; Chuko/Ramen; Il Bambino/Sandwich.
Le Bernardin scored 29 for food. It was followed by Bouley (also on 29); Jean-Georges, Gotham Bar & Grill, Eleven Madison Park, Daniel, Sushi Yasuda, Gramercy Tavern, Peter Luger, La Grenouille, Annisa and Sea Fire Grill (all on 28.)
New Yorkers report eating out 5.4 times a week (breakfast, lunch, and dinner), compared with 5.2 times nationally. The average spend on a dinner out is $48.15 a person, compared with a national average of $39.40, Zagat said.
The results are based on public-opinion surveys. Zagat, which is owned by Google Inc., said there were 30,592 surveyors. A total of 160 restaurants opened and 82 closed, Zagat said.
Ratings and reviews from the “2015 NYC Restaurant Survey” will be available at Zagat.com.
