I ended up at Fairfax after seeing it in one of those “best burger in New York” videos. The burger was definitely good. I liked how the flat bun made it easier to eat without everything sliding around but it wasn’t the best I’ve had. I asked for medium well, and it came out well done, which was a bit of a letdown.Still, it was a solid burger to enjoy with a beer and worked well as a quick bite. The place was packed and pretty loud, so not the most relaxing atmosphere, but if you’re just looking to grab a bite and go, it does the job. - Gizem Nacir
