New Yorkers already know we live in the burger capital of the universe — but now it’s official. Four different NYC restaurants just landed on the **World’s 25 Best Burgers 2025** list, more than any other city in the world. From indulgent Wagyu creations to cult-favorite kimchi burgers, here are the hometown heroes putting NYC on the global burger map: Sip & Guzzle — Best Burger in North America (No. 13 Worldwide) -------------------------------------------------------------- Tucked in the West Village, this cocktail bar only makes a dozen burgers a day. Each patty is grounded daily from 100% A5 Wagyu trimmings, smoked in Binchotan perfume, bound with cured Jidori egg yolk, and seared in cast iron with beef tallow and butter . Finished with a Parmesan “Kraft single,” tare sauce, shishito banana pepper relish, a Binchotan special sauce, and a house fermented pickle — it’s equal parts familiar and elevated. Not to mention it’s all served on a world-class sesame bun created in collaboration with one of our favorites in the city, Bread’s Bakery . Judges named it the best burger in North America and praised its “meticulous technique.” 📍 29 Cornelia St Nowon — No. 15 Worldwide ------------------------ Chef Jae Lee’s East Village hotspot is known for its buzzy, high-energy vibe — and its burger matches the mood. The double dry-aged burger is stacked with American cheese, kimchi, and gochujang mayo, creating a fiery Korean-American twist that’s become a true cult favorite. 📍 507 E 6th St Red Hook Tavern — No. 21 Worldwide ---------------------------------- Over in Brooklyn, Red Hook Tavern takes the opposite approach: pure, simple perfection. Winning by the motto “less is more” according to the ranking, this tavern’s thick dry-aged patty is topped only with American cheese and raw onion on a sesame bun. Nothing fancy, just timeless flavor that proves restraint can be just as powerful. 📍 329 Van Brunt St, Brooklyn 4 Charles Prime Rib — No. 23 Worldwide -------------------------------------- This beloved West Village steakhouse already has a reputation for indulgence, and its double Wagyu cheeseburger is no exception.
