Best burger below 14th street?

I strongly second Corner Bistro. Go late night for less of a line and even better ambiance.

I would agree with other posters that Paul's and Stand are quality burgers as well. For something a little less substantial try Blue 9 Burger.

Thanks everyone for your replys.
Could someone compare the atmosphere of Spotted Pig and BLT Burger.
TIA

BLT I'd only recommend the lamb burger. There are many better places. The Spotted Pig is great IF you can get a table and IF you like blue cheese on your burger. Try Stoned Crow if you want real "atmosphere".

I am sad to say that CB is nowhere near as good as it used to be. However, it is still a West Village institution, and the people-watching in the bar area is good enough reason to go. Fortunately, we now have BLTBurger (fabulous) and Daddy-O, my personal favorite, on 6th Ave. @ 12th and Bedford @ Leroy, respectively.
On the east side, I hear Paul's still does a mean burger, though I haven't had one in years. They were great, though, as I recall.

BLT burger is amazing!

Stand has one of the best burgers I've ever had. With a buttery brioche bun and homemade onion savory marmalade their house burger is incredible. Wash it down with a toasted marshmallow milkshake (orgasmic) and accompany it with crispy shoestring fries....it's pretty much one of my favorite meals in nyc.

Royale 11th and C. Great outdoor backyard to eat in too. Try the Pork Slap Ale.

Corner Bistro and Spotted Pig

Good call on Spotted Pig. Go at lunch time. Only cheese available is blue, fyi.

I would definitely second Corner Bistro and Royale as very very good burgers. Five Guys has a location on Bleecker & 7th, and they are a pretty good burger place with more of a "fast food" feel (though not taste). Has anyone been to BLT burger on 6th ave. (around 12th st. I think)? I've never made it there, but theoretically it should be good given the caliber of the BLT name and the fact that they purport to specialize in burgers.

I only went once soon after it opened. My burger was good, but service was pretty bad... I keep meaning to go back.

Yes, the lamb merguez burger at BLT Burger is fantastic. (Although I prefer it with ketchup or bbq sauce rather than the house sauce.)

Corner Bistro, and its hamburgers, is IMHO utterly vile.

Royale on Ave C is pretty damn good. Pauls near Astor Place is also a stand out. On the gourmet side I think Delmonicos in the FD serves a great burger.

If you've never had one before, you have to get one from Corner Bistro. People may prefer others over CB, but you have to try it once because it's a NYC institution.

Agree though The Stoned Crow does a good impersonation of CB. Recently liked Seymour Burton's and Shorty .32's burgers too.
