These burgers are in Times Square and they are worth it
** LOS TACOS No. 1 ** _(75 9th Ave) _
Perhaps without too much modesty but with good reason, these are the taco kings in new york . Its journey began in 2013 at a stop at Chelsea Market which, even today, experiences long queues before 11:00, when it opens. His network of delicious tacos recently arrived at times square , to Calle 43. Its menu is very simple.
It is about choosing a main ingredient (chicken, pork, beef or cactus) and a format (taco or quesadilla). If you add the essential chips with guacamole In addition to snacking between meals, you have a memorable full meal.
** JOE'S PIZZA ** _(1435 Broadway) _
Another unavoidable snack in New York is pizza with a crispy base and no-fuss ingredients. Despite the numerous options that tempt pedestrians in Times Square, nothing can compare to the Legendary Joe's Pizza formula that's been around since 1975 and is served from its new booth on Broadway and 40th Street.
Again, the queues are a good indication of what awaits us. With portions for 3 dollars and hours that last until after 3 in the morning, there is nothing better to satisfy hunger.
CITY KITCHEN _(700 8th Ave) _
Why choose a single restaurant when you have a space with up to seven options ? The only drawback is that it is not easy to find. City Kitchen falls into the category of the ubiquitous food courts and is located in the ROW hotel second floor , on the corner of 44th Street and 8th Avenue.
Why choose a single restaurant when you have a space with up to seven options?
You can try the excellent burgers at Whitmans, the always fresh sushi at Azuki, the bowls of rice with lamb or duck from Ilili Box and put the sweet end of the fluffy donuts from Dough . In addition to the local stools, you can also sit in the more spacious stands of the hotel itself.
** CARMINE'S ** _(200 W 44th St) _
An institution in Times Square adored by tourists but also by many employees of the neighborhood offices. Your hook is on the abundance of its dishes to be shared at the risk of having a heart attack (it is a formula that is also used by another Italian restaurant on the same street and with similar results, **Tony's Di Napoli) **.
Its verging on tawdry decor fits in with the parade of staples of Italian-American cuisine: from socorridos spaghetti with meatballs with ricotta cheese ravioli with ragu sauce.
The restaurant fills to the brim before and after performances in Broadway so it is better to avoid those hours.
** BROOKLYN DINER ** _(155 W 43rd St) _ Another homage to decadence is the menu of the next icon in the theater district. This restaurant of Times Square at 43rd Street , attracts a very diverse clientele that includes actors, singers and politicians and whose name is immortalized on plaques that decorate the private cabins.
The dishes are typically American with special mention to its hot dog of more than a span that requires about 15 bites, as indicated by its nickname on the menu.
Special mention also to his shakes and desserts that, despite the price, finish off the 100% American experience with a clap of glucose.
**KODAMA SUSHI** _(301 W 45th St) _
In Times Square, there is a porrón of restaurants specialized in sushi. But if we have to stay with one, we ask for a table in this huge place that has two entrances, on the 8th Avenue and 45th Street . In addition to sitting at the tables, you can find a place at the bar to watch the chefs in action.
Some of his most surprising dishes are prepared with black rice and its rolls they have a catchy name that pays homage to Broadway musicals like Mamma Mia Roll and Jersey Boys Sushi.
**GYU-KAKU JAPANESE BBQ** _(321 W 44th St) _
If raw fish isn't on your menu preference, you might prefer the freshly grilled meat from this Japanese food chain conveniently located just down the street from Times Square at 44.
This case requires a little more involvement than the simple act of picking up the chopsticks and bringing them to your mouth. Here the cooking is your responsibility. It's about asking for a assortment of meat, already seasoned, and cook it on the grill that you have on your own table.

Aren't you a carnivore? you have a choice vegetarian at your disposal . If you prefer seafood, you also have it on the menu.
** BURGER & LOBSTER ** _(132 W 43rd St) _
Few restaurants clear any doubt just by reading their name. But that's how easy this local specialist makes it for us, well, that, burgers and lobster . They do not break their heads with the menu. The lobster is served whole or in the famous sandwich called the Lobster Roll.
The hamburger comes basic, accompanied by lobster meat or with the mega mushroom called Portobello. If you prefer a feast ask The B&L Tower.
A tower, literally, with two hamburgers, two Lobster Roll, two half kilo lobsters unlimited fries and salad and four cocktails to celebrate leaving the restaurant on a stretcher.
** VIRGIL'S REAL BARBACUE ** _(152 W 44th St) _
To get away from the typical New York dishes we introduce a southerner concept at the table . In this cozy restaurant on Calle 44 you will find Mexican specialties and dishes more typical of Creole and Cajun cuisine . Skip the hamburgers (which they also serve) if you can and focus on meats cooked slowly over grill smoke.
The Texas BBQ Beef Brisket (the tender part of the beef brisket) is amazing, although you will surely want to try the pork strips or the tender roasted pork ribs Memphis style.
As if that were not enough, you have a good collection of companions like their awesome nachos and some hypercaloric desserts.
SHAKE SHACK _(53 with Broadway) _
We still think that Shake Shack serves one of the best burgers in town . But this is not the only reason why it is included in this list. The fast food chain already has an establishment on 44th Street and 8th Avenue with long lines but another bigger one is going to open also very close to Times Square.
The new location, on the corner of 53rd Street and Broadway, will have a outdoor space with more than 150 seats . Every time they make it easier for us and we appreciate it.
