Rare Bar & Grill

Nearly anything you could imagine on your burger is here, including foie gras, fried eggs, portobello mushrooms and five dipping sauces. French fries come in three styles (all could be crisper): shoestring, sweet-potato and cottage. Fortunately, there’s a sampler for the indecisive. Even the decor is burgerlike: bun-beige ceilings, medium-rare red-brown walls and ketchup-colored banquettes. Unbunned choices include large, fresh and flavorful salads. Treat yourself to thick milk shakes enhanced with flavored extracts (and even liquor for Mom and Dad).
