One of my favorite restaurants in the city. Very tiny and they don't take reservations, so go early. Try the de Pabellon and the la Mulata. There is a takeout counter next door.

Right next door to Caracas! Buttery, creamy, deliciousness on a bun. Not cheap considering it's not a sit down restaurant . . . but terrific!

The lines can be RIDICULOUS but the burgers are really good. A shack in the middle of Madison Square Park, wait in line (can be 20+ mins) to order, pick up your food, then find a picnic table.
