It's almost a sin not to try Peter Luger's burger when it's 2 minutes from our building. We can't afford $80 steak but we can happily get their burger for $8. Their burger was chosen for "Ten of the Burgers" by NYTimes. 
We both ordered rare—let's do it right when you are in the best chef's hand. And it was grilled perfectly. Cheese melting to cover the meat all around, bun is firm enough to suck up the meat juice. Minimal yet very structured decoration and topping of fresh onion. At Peter Luger, the fries sit on the plate modestly, not overflowing, overwhelming like at most burger joints. The meat is so juicy with generous amount of fat that two slices of cheese don't even feel heavy at all. And the bacon! It's a piece of beautiful meat. It got my respect. 30-min wait for this would be nothing, especially if you'd appreciate the characteristic German bartenders.
