New York Burger Co. (CLOSED)

At this better-than-fast-food joint, juicy Angus beef patties come on a brioche bun, either unadorned or fully loaded (try the Chelsea Burger, topped with cherrywood-smoked bacon, cheddar and house-made Thousand Island dressing). Little ones can munch on mini versions of the gourmet burgers and wash them down with refreshing smoothies like the Berry Extreme, a zingy combo of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, pomegranate and orange juices, and vanilla ice cream.
