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

There’s so much to see, pick, eat, and enjoy dur There’s so much to see, pick, eat, and enjoy during harvest season in the Finger Lakes! The lakes are a bit colder but still so beautiful, our favorite wineries are busy harvesting grapes (thanks to our friends at @wagnervineyards for taking me along for the ride!), and there is so much abundance from our local farmers to enjoy!

Here’s a glimpse of life in wine country! 🍁🍂🍎🍏🎃

The early morning fog is my favorite view of the s The early morning fog is my favorite view of the season. If by the lake it dances over the vineyards, water, and hills. If in the valleys, like Corning, it sits like a blanket cuddling the streets and homes while everyone slowly starts their day.

The runners at this weekend’s @wgmarathon might get to enjoy a glimpse of it as they start their race (I will be up early to cheer my girl @thereshegoesagn on! 🙌🏾). But even if you don’t get up early enough to enjoy this sight, the fall colors are here to take your breath away too. 🍁🍂

Yay! It’s officially autumn, my absolute favorit Yay! It’s officially autumn, my absolute favorite season especially since moving to the Finger Lakes! Harvest has already started and soon everything will be colorful with a warm glow. 🍂🍁🎃 Have you visited the region in the fall?

Cheers to another beautiful day at work where I ge Cheers to another beautiful day at work where I get to discover new and beautiful things! Though Hector Falls is not a new find for me, this unique perspective is only possible with a tour with Falling Waters Boat Tours in Burdett, NY. The 1.5 to 2hr tour on Seneca Lake is followed by wine and cheese at the base, and up close and personal to Hector Falls. Tours book from May till mid-October!

Thank you to owner Fred Grabosky for this unique experience. 

Life is so good in the Finger Lakes!

Harvest season is well on its way and what better Harvest season is well on its way and what better way to celebrate it all than with a festival? Harvest Fest in Corning, NY kicked off yesterday Friday and the festivities will continue all throughout today, Saturday, Sept 16.

We indulged in all the goodness - apple cinnamon donuts, still warm and melty with every bite, live music while perusing what local farmers were offering at their stands, as well as artisans and other vendors, and so much more.

But my favorite was strolling through the festivities in this small town while enjoying the slightly crisp air and that fall glow that takes over and makes everything feel extra pretty and cozy, making my autumn-loving heart so happy.

Fall in the Finger Lakes is truly magical so if you’re in the area, check out the festival (or mark your calendar for next year!), and if you love all things fall, you’ll want to plan a visit this season. Can’t wait to share more fall happenings with you!
