NYC'S BEST VEGGIE BURGERS
Something that we find hard to come by during our travels is a good veggie burger. So many times we have hoped for the best, but have been served a microwaved flat patty filled with random pieces of corn and a little carrot thrown in for colour.
While in New York we were on the hunt for the perfect veggie burger and I think we found some gems. Here are 5 places in New York City that serve the best veggie burgers.
1. Bareburger
Finally a burger joint that has more than one type of veggie burger to choose from! You can pick from the black bean patty, portabella mushroom and our favourite the quinoa veggie patty.
85 2nd Ave

2. 5 Napkin Burger
If you are looking for a burger that looks just like a big, juicy piece of meat between a bun then 5 Napkin Burger is the burger joint for you. Don't let it fool you - the veggie patty is made of black beans, barley, brown rice, carrots, beets, jalapeños, sesame seeds and a whole lotta beets, giving it that pink, meaty appearance.
630 9th Ave

3. The Shake Shack
The Shake Shack vegetarian option may not be the healthiest of choices, but man is it tasty! It is named The ‘Shroom Burger, made of a fried portobello mushroom stuffed with cheese.

If you are looking for a vegan burger that will cure any appetite then you need to try the Green Machine Burger at Organic Grill. It comes with a roasted portobello mushroom patty topped with their homemade organic pesto, avocado, vegan cheese, green peppers, sprouts and caramelised onions. I'm hungry just thinking about it!
