White Star Bar

New York

Burger Joint

$$$$

Lauded by many as a prime cocktail bar, this Hamilton Park spot (with a second location in Paulus Hook) is known for its interesting craft cocktails made with house-made syrups and its rotating selection of unique tap beers. But it’s really all about the burgers, particularly the Journal Square: a Pat LaFrieda patty topped with a fried egg, American cheese, Black Forest ham, and chipotle mayo on a Balthazar bun.
