Whitman's - The Feast of the Immaculate Conception
Reservations
This session has concluded.
The Meaty Details
Each July, we gather to celebrate the founding of Burger Club at Whitman's in the East Village, and we do what we do best - eat the shit out of a bunch of burgers. We're going to do that again this July 22, and then we're going to head to my rooftop two blocks away and party like wild savages one last time before I move out.
$25 gets you a burger, beer and side (that includes tax and tip). Not gonna get a better price anywhere...
I don't even know why I'm still writing - just RSVP now and I'll see you there.

"Whatever satisfies the soul is the [burger]." -Walt Whitman. Indeed, each bite of the blesséd, blushing, blissful Bluicy gushed with delicious blue cheese much as Whitman's Muse gushed forth into the world. The fries did not satisfy the soul to the same extent, but overall the experience was delightful.
Hanger steak patty was tender and juicy, and the caramelized onions added a delicious sweetness... but it needed some added condiments unlike some other delicious streak based burgers. The brussels sprouts for sides was a regrettable choice. They were good. But not fries good.
Recommend a little something to cut the thick of the peanut butter.
Green chili itself didn't add much flavor value - could've been more flavorful. Mostly tastes like a good burger with avocado/onions, chili unnoticed
Excellent service, fantastic company.
I wasn't sent into orgasm by the burger, but it satiated my hunger.
The pickles were excellent.
Harold and Kumar went to the wrong place.. it might be of a smaller (slider) size (don't bring a Texan here) but their The Hound is totally killer. It's rather simple but hits you with an unbelievable sense of balance, texture and taste. That crunchy whatever it is there adds a great accent. Also, Harold and Kumar can afford it too! $
This majestic bogie boy is the rawest blend of beefy goodness and peabut smooshy booshy, and brings to my tongue the sweetest staircase to apotheosis. 'twill make sweet love to my innards throughout the eve. Lo, my tummy weeps, but the tears are of joy.
Perhaps the slightest bit too baconey such that the cheese and arugula didn't come through but extremely delicious nonetheless. Underwhelmed by the sweet potato fries but very impressed with the selection of sides. Thumbs up on the soft unobtrusive potato bun. Slightly cramped but made chatting with great company easier. Two thumbs up for the 90s bar mitzvah themed music.
Andrew gave a good speech and worked the room in an acceptable outfit - 5/10.
Andrew and Ben make me sooooo happy! Love my boys 💖
