"Burger Joint" Hidden gem inside the lobby of the LeParker Meridien Hotel. Look for the neon burger sign. Good burgers, fries, shakes, and beer!A little pricey-but a fun experience-kitschy 70s decor.

Great food! Menu offers Asian / sushi, American, and traditional European dishes. A little noisy - but nice decor - good service. Sitting outside looks inviting - but I don't recommend it (traffic).
