Hi!
I'm back. New York was unbelievable! We had an amazing time and I have so much to share with you but it'll take me a while to organise all the photos and videos so I thought I'd start with something simple.
Hubby and I stumbled across 5 Napkin Burger in Hell's Kitchen New York. 5 Napkin Burger was on one side of the road and the equally lovely looking Southern Hospitality on the other. It was a toss up between the two and a rather difficult decision I must say.
In the end 5 Napkin Burger won because I spotted that they had a Salted Caramel Milkshake on the menu! Sold.
The restaurant was packed with people but didn't feel overcrowded, there were meat hooks hanging from the ceiling, old fashioned hanging scales decorating the far corner and sections of the room were covered in white tiles. The restaurant had a slightly industrial look that I really liked but despite the butcher shop style decor the restaurant still managed to feel warm and inviting. 5 Napkin is definitely more sophisticated than your regular burger joint but still had that breezy, grab a burger feel.
The Salted Caramel Shake was unbelievable, utterly scrumptious and totally unforgettable. Mr. P. ordered a Root Beer Float but after trying my shake, he swiftly ordered one for himself. It was gloriously thick and ice creamy, with the most beautiful caramel flavour and just the right amount of salt to stand up against the sweet.
Both the hubs and I ordered the Original 5 Napkin Burger, a 10oz. custom ground beef burger, with caramelized onions, gruyere cheese, rosemary aioli, soft white roll. It was glorious and certainly lived up to the 5 Napkin name, the gruyere was a beautiful addition and I loved caramelized onions.
Our waiter was lovely and honestly couldn't do enough to help, he giggled at me when I told him, perfectly straight faced that the Salted Caramel Milkshake was one of the best things I've ever tasted. Apparently it is rather popular.
This wasn't the only burger I had in N.Y. but it was certainly the best and that Milkshake is the stuff dreams are made of...
That night I planned my own Salted Caramel Shake recipe.

Oh Wow! It sounds fabulous! Especially the milk shake..,
Looks so delicious! I'll have to make a note to stop by and try that shake next time I'm in the city. Cannot wait to hear more about your city adventures! ;) You know that's right up my alley! xoxo
I love NYC. I'm so glad you had a great time on your visit. We were suppose to go in June for our anniversary but hopefully in the fall!! NYC is around 3 1/2 hours away by car. Not to far to go for a good burger.
That shake looks delicious! I just went to Five Napkin Burger in NYC last week, and I had the most delicious float. It was rum raisin ice cream with ginger beer and it was amazing! I definitely recommend it. There's a picture on my blog: http://beeeats.blogspot.com/2011/06/its-helluva-town.html
I completely agree with your assessment of 5 Napkin Burger! I went to NYC for the first time in April and the original burger there was the best burger, absolutely far, that I've ever tasted. Wish I'd noticed the salted caramel milkshake on the menu, but I missed that! Will have to try it next time. :)
