Burgers on B

East Village burger spots never sleep. Burgers on B keeps the tradition alive with a no-frills approach—counter service, vegetarian options, and happy hour drinks that start early enough to catch the pre-dinner crowd. The place identifies as veteran-owned, a detail that sits quietly alongside the menu without fanfare. You’ll find it at 168 Avenue B, New York, NY 10009, where the sidewalk hums with the kind of energy that makes takeout feel like a good idea even when you live three blocks away.

Ordering here is as direct as the neighborhood itself. No tablecloths, no fuss—just burgers, a few sides, and a drink list that leans into classic bar staples. The phone rings at (646) 368-1464 if you’d rather skip the line, though the counter moves fast enough most nights. For directions, pull up the map here—it’s the kind of spot you’ll walk past twice before realizing you’ve arrived.
