Skinny Louie

The West Village’s burger scene gets a no-frills option on Carmine Street. Skinny Louie keeps things simple with a menu built around classic hamburgers—no gimmicks, just the essentials. It’s the kind of spot where lunch crowds and late-night diners overlap, thanks to seating that accommodates both quick takeout orders and sit-down meals. Catering requests? They handle those too, though the focus stays squarely on the burgers.

Finding it is easy: the address is 11 Carmine St, New York, NY 10014, tucked between the neighborhood’s historic brownstones and newer storefronts. Dinner service runs late enough to catch the post-theater crowd, while lunch draws a mix of locals and office workers from nearby blocks. If you’re planning a group order or just want to confirm hours, a quick call to (646) 454-0873 sorts it out—no online reservation system, just straightforward coordination.

The map pin drops you right at the entrance, so navigation’s a non-issue—check the directions here if you’re coming from uptown or the subway. It’s one of those places that doesn’t need a hard sell; the menu and location do the talking. Just don’t expect a neon sign—this isn’t that kind of burger joint.
