Pop Burger: A Quick Burger Fix

Enjoyed this post? Give it some love and share!

While taking in NYC at night during our recent Hotel Elysee stay, we decided to pop in at Pop Burger for a quick bite. The place at 7:30pm on a Friday night was completely empty downstairs (street level). This is because the places that are really “happening” are the second level (with happy hour from 5.00pm to 8.00pm) and the 3rd level which is even swankier then the second, and most certainly the first, but they are also a lot pricier.

Since I was with the kiddos, an empty burger joint in Midtown Manhattan was perfect. We ordered hot dogs for the kids and the Pop Burger for my husband and I. The fries are the best: super crunchy, not oily and perfectly salted. The burgers (sliders) were also very good, with the works. We spent about $10 for each of us, so it was a bit pricier than a regular fast food place, but the food was also better.

I also loved that there was an option for grilled corn on the cob, which my 3.5 year old devoured. You put in your order and can take it out or sit in the back. We had the whole place to ourselves and hung out a bit longer because of it, plus no one seemed to care.

Not sure what it is like in terms of service upstairs, but I do know it’s a pretty popular bar scene Expect to pay $15 at the upstairs lounge for a Pop Burger, and only $6.75 for the same at the counter downstairs. So if you are just looking for a place to crab some burgers, fries and drink, stop in on the first level, and even get it to go on a nice day and eat it at the Central Park, only a block away.

Pop Burger * 14 E 58th St * (between 5th Ave & Madison Ave)* (212) 991-6644

Around this time last year we secluded ourselves i Around this time last year we secluded ourselves in our half renovated home in the Finger Lakes unsure of what the future held for so many of us and our loved ones. In a way, we felt isolated from the world...but also from our friends and family.

So much has happened in a year. So much to reflect on. So much gratitude.

Not sure how to process a year of this so I’m just holding on to all the positives - the closeness we’ve nurtured as a family. The incredible rediscovery of friendships, and the fierce protection of the same. The reminder of what matters most and the vulnerability of life.

The incredible fortune of this beautiful place of serenity and solace. Though I am eager to share it with friends again soon.

Today we found out that Centerway Square, Corning, Today we found out that Centerway Square, Corning, NY’s public square was voted Best Public Square in the U.S. 2021 by USA Today @10best.

It felt appropriate to go and enjoy it on this beautiful evening. The added treat however, was in the amazing food and wine experience at the newly opened @thequincyexchange bistro only steps away!

The ambiance, the food, the service, the wine. 😚👌🏾

There’s so much awesome happening in the region, and I love how Corning is catering to both the local and visitor experience.

Make sure you stop here when visiting our beloved NY wine country.

Our very first Valentine’s Day together was our Our very first Valentine’s Day together was our second date after we met. Up until that moment I never celebrated the holiday, even if I was seeing someone, except with girlfriends which was the only way I tolerated any of it. But this time, it felt like a thing to do because I had just met this guy that I really, REALLY liked and he had planned a night out. 

I was a single mom, and my oldest (then 4) was supposed to be with his dad - who called last minute to say he would be late. So, I had to bring him to the restaurant with me, on our second date (!) because reservations were tight (we were also going to watch a concert after).

As we were ordering dinner (to go for my kid), my ex shows up and instead of taking my son and leaving, he decides to pull up a chair and sit and embarrass me in such awful ways. After dinner, as we paid the bill, he got up, took our son, and said goodbye, pretty convinced he had done the damage he came to do.

I quietly got in the cab with @travisjcain and just broke out into ugly crying. Convinced this really nice guy, that I really liked, had seen enough and would never call again.

But he did. And he never left my side. And though on that night we both agreed that Valentine’s Day is the worst, what we had was not and it has only gotten better since. So, though we don’t celebrate, that is the V Day love story that always makes me love him more. Happy Valentine’s Day, you crazy kids. Live life never doubting you are deserving of love and kindness, however it may come your way.
