The York — Restaurant in New York

INFLATION BUSTER ALERT! God I love that term, feel it should be used more. "INFLATION BUSTER" really just makes me laugh. Every time.

I have been walking by the York for the past few weeks, and saw the happy hour sign outside.

"Happy hour... 2-7... $12 for a burger, fries, and beer."

Am I being punked? Did I accidentally time travel to the 1960s? Shidddd I wish, seeing Hendrix at Woodstock would have been tight.

Anyways, I ended up trying it out with my roommate (former USC Basketball Superstar) on a Friday afternoon.

We walk in the door and stand there and look at each other for a bit. "Is there a host or do we seat ourselves.." we communicated telepathically. After about 37 seconds of awkwardly standing there, my roommate goes up to the bartender and asks him if we seat ourselves. I'm really shy, hehe.

Turns out the bartender was the ONLY one working the entire floor of the restaurant, and he did a DAMN good job. It was like 1 on 25 and he was running that no problem. Shoutout to Conor!!!

The burger was honestly surprisingly very decent, and the fries got the job done as well.

For the inflation buster special (IBS), you have 3 beer options of draft coors, bud light, or tecate. Tbh, I really don't know beer at all but went with the draft coors as that's what my big homie recommended.

Take advantage of this IBS...

Loved this place. They have an amazing Happy Hour. The space is not huge but it's comfortable and cozy. The decor is simple but appealing. I had the $13 Happy Hour Combo which consisted of a Smashburger, fries and beer. The beer has to be Tecate or Coors. I paid a little more because I wanted a different beer (that's fair). Beers are $2 off and well drinks are $3 off. Regular drinks are reasonably priced also. The Burger was 😋. Luisa, the bartender, was very nice. The service was great. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. I will...

The lads and I went here during the week for some burgers and brews. For such an unassuming spot, the smash burgers absolutely SLAP. You'll be hard-pressed to find a better one for less than $10. My boy said the breakfast sandwich was even better, so I ordered one to-go lol. I spent $30 for two beers and two amazing sandwiches, which is hard to come by in Manhattan.

The place is quite intimate, so it might get uncomfy if it's packed. If you're able to secure seating, amazing spot for a casual hang...
