Corner Bistro, New York City

"You have to go to Corner Bistro!"
We heard this more times than we care to admit.
Now, we're ashamed we didn't go sooner.
We avoided the usual line that snakes out the door and down the street of this west village watering hole by going on a rainy Monday afternoon. They're not lined up for the drinks here.
Ask for a booth in the back and order the Bistro burger: classic bun, raw onion, juicy 8-ounce paddy, cheese, heap of bacon, tomato, lettuce, bun- in that order. This one challenges the jaw but goes easy on the wallet (it's only 6.75! In Manhattan!).
There are no frills here. In fact, it feels a bit like time stopped ticking away long ago. But there's a friendly, convivial vibe and it seems like the guys working there would always be happy for another regular or two.
Hopefully you'll have the pleasure of being served by Luis. He'll make you feel right at home.
-Be sure to say hello.

Section Dairy Bar, Section Alabama,

The best thing to do in section alabama, besides head down the road to unclaimed baggage, is to stop in at the section dairy bar. Step back in time to simple fare and food done right. Order at the pull up window out front, or sit inside surrounded by vintage car hop posters.

You probably won't ever find yourself in this remote corner of the world, but if you do, its definitely worth a stop. Try a milkshake while you're there.

Village Burger Bar, Dallas Texas

From our Dallas Contributor:

The best burger of my life was eaten today at the village burger bar in dallas (mckinney avenue location).

It was amazing. Paired with the sweet potato fries, spring weather, and patio dining- I was in heaven.

$7.20 for the cheddar burger with bacon. All the fixings + champagne mustard... however, I opted for ranch to dress up the burg.
