88 Cent Burgers at Pop Burger Today

It’s a burger joint worthy of Andy Warhol.

At both locations, Pop Burger puts as much focus on design at it does French fries.  A hip cafeteria-style counter in the front leads into a sleekly minimalist lounge and bar with a pool table.  It’s business lunch in the front and happy hour in the back.

Both sections belie different menus.  The counter menu has slider-style Pop burgers, hot dogs, thick shakes and jittery Red Bull, and Caesar, tuna, and Cobb salads for the diet-conscious.  The lounge menu boats more grown up fare like shrimp with cocktail sauce, New England lobster rolls and chicken Waldorf salad on mini brioche.  There’s also a fuller dinner menu featuring fried calamari, duck confit egg rolls, and steak. 

Much of the menu is blissfully uncomplicated, while Pop Burger’s cocktail menu trends toward the unnecessarily intricate with concoctions like the “pink panty pull down” (Stoli vanilla, lime, pineapple, orange, grenadine) or the “pama perfect” (Patron silver, Grand Marnier, Cointreau, lime).  At $15 and $20 respectively, they stray toward the ludicrous.  Better to sneak some rum into your black & white shake if you need a fix.

The Meatpacking District location is especially prone to celebrity sighting—Sarah Jessica Parker, Matt Dillon, and Ed Burns were all spotted lately, according to Pop Burger’s Web site.

Better yet, Pop Burger is honoring the 8^th of April by deeply discounting their beefy patties.  This month (and on the 8^th of every month), get 2 burgers for 88 cents, at a regular price of $6.75, this deal is perfect to tide you over until your paycheck arrives.

Pop Burger is located at 14 East 58^th Street (between Madison and 5^th) and at 59-60 9^th Avenue (at 15^th Street).
