  • They Shrunk My Burger - How Much? The burgers here look like they have been shrunk, Much smaller than they used to be. So, it begs the question, America, New York are no longer famous for their burgers. #americanburgers #howmuch #newyork #newyorkcity

    In the US, the average wage in 2024 is 50% higher than in the UK. In 2008, the average UK wage was the same as the US. That and the exchage rate (which has been destroyed by Brexit) is why it seems so expensive to us over there.

    Hello there Darren, the Big Apple ( Pie) We all think that we know about New York, well most of the USA. Let's face it, we have been fed it almost daily, The television has shown us our virtual make believe " real life." America 😂 Re the size of your burger, maybe the locals have been informed about the dangers of the full fat double size meals 🤔Or make smaller things, charging more. In fact less bangs for the dollar 💲💵😉Have to be honest, that's what I would call a bloomin great looking Apple Pie. I felt the enamel on my teeth started to melt 😁😬🤗 Even with the sugar rush, loved your not quite a senior moment 🤔. Keep searching for the best burger and share the hunt with us. Allan&Family

    Also want to find a good corned beef bagel place to compare to our very own Brick Lane beigels.

    the burger and fries looked good, apple pie isn't my cup of tea, but I'm sure they have other types and they look like they know how to bake a pie! ... regarding price, that meal would probably be nowhere near as expensive at most diners, however you are in Midtown Manhattan and high prices are just something you can't get around there (but you knew that before you came, I reckon). Also, stay away from those artisan lemonades if you're looking to keep the bill down haha!

    Go to what used to be the Parker Meridian Hotel (I think it has changed ownership). I stayed at that hotel for ~ month about 10 years ago doing a business deal - there is a "secret" burger restaurant behind a curtain in the lobby - or there was a few years ago. Hotel is on north side of 56th - next to Carnegie hall. Should be very close to where you are staying. Awesome burgers and used to be very cheap.

    Also George Motz burgers you might like a burger there too but it gets really busy and a curry place down Bricklane (yes there is one in NYC) where they deliver your food by a robot.

    These days you can still eat absolutely amazing food in New York of course, but the prices had gone through the roof. They shrunk the burgers and charge more, unfortunately. Went there in February for work, we went out to a fairly local place, had a burger, 4 beers and some fries among the two of us, we paid 129$ not including tip, which is 30%. Glad work is paying for my expenses when on travels. Have a fab stay in the Big Apple, DJ and enjoy the fantastic food. 😊
