Two8Two Burger

Friday nights are the perfect time for a burger, wouldn't you agree? After using my new favorite tool, yelp.com, I decided to test the waters at what Yelpers concluded was the best burger joint in Brooklyn. After a nice walk through the neighborhood, Alex and I arrived at Two8Two Burger.

In the front of the restaurant there is a beautiful dimly lit bar. As you continue to the back of the restaurant, there are tables of Brooklynites enjoying these fantastic burgers. In the very back of Two8Two Burger there is a cozy outside patio with umbrellas and picnic tables. We decided to sit outside and enjoy the late night crisp air.

The menu is short and sweet. It consists of mouthwatering burgers, uniquely topped hot dogs, Greek salad, nachos and a few sandwiches. They also have a full bar with eight beers on tap and over ten specialty cocktails. Check out the full menu here.

During our visit, naturally, I had to try their most popular burger: Two8Two Burger. This hamburger is topped with roasted poblano chilies, cheddar cheese and the special two8two sauce. Needless to say, it was phenomenal and my Yelpers hit the nail right on the head with this one. Alex ate the Pub Burger: 9oz hamburger with grilled onions, cheddar cheese, bacon and two8two sauce. We also shared some Greek fries topped with feta and oregano. Best fries of my life!

Steak 'n Shake

    

    
     This past week I have been at Myrtle Beach with six of my friends- one of whom is obsessed with Steak 'n Shake. The whole ride down to South Carolina all my friend Jordan could talk about was how excited he was to get to Steak 'n Shake. When we arrived to the place "famous for steak burgers" he was in heaven.

      We all sat down and got to looking over the menu and couldn't believe how cheap everything was. Their menu is full of unique burgers but that's not all they have. This place has a full menu of breakfast, lunch, dinner and milkshakes. Check out the full menu here.

 

    I indulged in the Prince of Royale Steakburger which was topped with bacon, cheese and a over hard egg. To finish it off I also had a Salted Pretzel Milkshake for dessert and it was amazing! The best part about this place is the prices- $4 for a burger and fries and $3.75 for a huge milkshake. Can't beat it!

Milkshake Madness

     Summer is just around the corner and you know what that means...camping! Well in PA we go camping, I think the camping equivalent for New Yorkers might be a weekend at the Hamptons- both equally great in their own way. Camping reminds me of summer and roasting marshmallows. Since I haven't found a place that I can roast marshmallows here in the city, besides in my microwave, I had to look elsewhere to satisfy my craving. That's where Bill's Bar and Burger comes in.

     Bill's Bar and Burger has been a hit with New Yorker's for years with their locations at Rockefeller Plaza and in the Meatpacking District. Their food is know to be fantastic, especially their burgers, but where they really excel is in their milkshake making skills.

Introducing the Campfire Milkshake. It's a little piece of heaven for only $6.95.

     The Campfire Milkshake contains vanilla ice cream, milk and marshmallows. The best part of the shake is at the top- a thick layer of toasted marshmallow. YUM. They use a fire torch to make the marshmallow gooey and delicious. It's the perfect topping for the most perfect summer milkshake. If you don't have time to sit down and enjoy the goodness, you can take it on the go by ordering at their fast and friendly take away counter. I am a huge fan of that option.

The exact locations for Bill's Bar and Burger can be found on their website: billsbarandburger.com. Why are you still sitting there? Go get that milkshake!
