The East Village is booming these days with hip and cool eateries. Newly opened Whitman’s Restaurant serves the tastiest and coolest burgers along with other seasonal fare all from locally grown fresh ingredients. This is comfort food done right in a cozy intimate setting. Try the already famous ‘Lucy Juicy’ burger which is beef short-rib blend stuffed with pimento cheese and has caramelized onion, bibb lettuce, tomato, spicy pickles and mayo sauce. Wash it down with a beer or wine and crispy fries. My mouth is watering already. This is sure to be a hot spot. www.whitmansnyc.com
