Living in Murray Hill has its downside. Food. Don’t get me wrong, according to Yelp, there are about 1,000 restaurants/food providers within a 5 block radius of my apartment. Yes, ONE THOUSAND restaurants. I don’t get it either. There’s a reason why Murray Hill is also known as Curry Hill, we probably do have some of the best Indian in NYC. However, there’s not much else that Murray Hill is good for. Besides Sarges. One of the classic and well known deli’s scattered around NY, Sarge’s is one of the best.
The above picture is one of my favorite standby’s when I crave a burger and don’t want to venture far/wait in line. Make sure to order it medium rare and you get one large juicy burger patty with cheese topped with a generous portion of fatty and tasty pastrami. It doesn’t much better.
Well, it doesn’t get any worse either. Not feeling pastrami? 1) We’ll you’re no longer my friend 2) Order the hot dog topped cheese burger with a side of sauteed onions and surprisingly great thick cut fries. 3) Let me pick at your place and you’re back on the friend list.
Called Sarge’s Favorite on the menu, this is a thing of beauty. Slices of juicy beef served on Latkas (a shallow fried pancake made of grated potato, flour and eggs then covered in homemade gravey. An order of fries on the side would make for the perfect utensil for sopping up any leftover gravy.
Open 24 hrs a day. This makes staying up until 5am on weekends that much better.
