Whitman's Visited 1/7/2017 3.5 Forks

Whitman's  406 E 9th St., New York, NY 10009



After our first brunch at Superiority Burger, Anuja, Amy and I were unfortunately still hungry.  There wasn't much left on the menu there and we were really craving fries, so we ventured next door to Whitman's to fill our fries craving.  This place is the ultimate burger/sandwich place, so they must have good fries right? 

Yes, they definitely hit the spot.  It's a cute cozy place if you're looking for something casual and low key.  They have a pretty extensive menu of all types of burgers and sandwiches and you can put almost any topping on them too.  Since we had literally just had a burger, Anuja and I split the grilled cheese and fries ($9) since having a 2nd burger seemed egregious but only having fries didn't seem like enough food.  Amy got the Brussels Sprout salad ($7) because she's good like that and knew that having something healthy was better for her.  

This was a nice way to "top off" our last meal.  The grilled cheese was on a thick white Pullman bread with melted gruyere, cheddar and American cheese - yum!  But the bread was a bit soggy in the middle but with that much cheese I can see why.  The fries were great - crunchy and salty,  which would have been perfect with the veggie burger earlier.  Amy said her salad was great and it did look really healthy and lightly dressed.  I wouldn't say that anything we had was super mind blowing but there was nothing wrong with anything we ate either.

The price point is great here and it was a nice snowy weather get away for comfort food.  I would like to return to have a real burger to take advantage of what they are really known for.  Total bill:  $20/pp with tax, tip and wine
