If you get a chance, get over to this mainstay in the NYC midtown lunch scene before it closes. You basically have to go today, I'm not even sure if they're open tomorrow. The Primeburger has been serving breakfast and lunch since 1938, and it's one place where, if you order correctly, you can really get a great burger. The quality of the meat, delivered each day, the course grind, and the simple seasoning all come together to make this a burger worth eating. Unfortunately, the building in which The Primeburger resides, was sold and after months of negotiating, the new owners decided this past week to give them to boot... by this coming Wednesday. It's a sad day for the NYC Burger Scene. Speaking with John before our meal, he told us the whole story of their fight to stay in the location, and their hopes that once they're all moved out, they can find another location nearby. Check out this video love letter to the Primeburger, and pictures from our somewhat epic burger tasting below the video.
Mike is starving and about to check out the menu.

Ordering done. Anticipation killing me.
Curly Fries (Seasoned) = delicious
Steak fries, a bit limp.
Primeburger with cheese. This looks like it's over, but it's actually a perfect
medium rare.
