Forget soda. Screw milkshakes. Throw that water in the sink where it belongs. There is only one beverage that brings out the best in a burger, and that beverage is beer. In celebration of the 2014 Battle of the Burger, presented by Amstel Light, we're asking you to vote on the city's absolute best burger, so why not head out right now and try a few of the ones in the running? You can visit one (or all!) of the venues below to enjoy a mouthwatering burger and beer special.
Once you're done, head over to Battle of the Burger to see Time Out New York's critics' picks and cast your vote—the top 20 will be featured in the issue out August 7th, and the nominated chefs will battle it out at a live event that night at South Street Seaport.
