Best Burgers in West Village

The West Village is the best burger neighborhood in New York City, and it is not close. With 18 ranked burgers including 4 Charles (9.6), Sip & Guzzle (9.4), and Golden Swan (9.3), three of the city's top five are within a 10-minute walk of each other. The depth here is unmatched. Emmett's Dry Aged (8.8), White Horse Tavern (8.7), The Spaniard (8.7), and L'Artusi (8.7) would be the best burger in most other neighborhoods. Smacking Burger (8.5), Le B (8.1), and Cafe Cluny (7.6) fill out the mid-tier. Even the lower-ranked spots like Smashed, Emily, and Burgerhead are solid options. If you only have one night in NYC and you want a great burger, come here.
