5 Napkin Burger

The missus and I ended up here yesterday after walking almost the length of Steinway Street and developing a crazed, frenetic hunger that has been observed only in the form of lions chasing down zebras in the Serengeti. Uno? Nope. Applebees? No chance. 5N? You know I'm down.

We were lured in by the bait like fish to a worm. $2 sliders and $4 draft beer happy hour. Sold. The sign said "at the bar only," but there were no seats at the bar. The hostess noticed our dismay and asked us if we would like to enjoy the happy hour outside since no seats were available at the bar.

Take the M/R to 36th Street and walk 3 blocks up 38th from Queens Blvd, past Studio Square and onto the deliciousness that awaits you. Do these stand up against the burger titans of the city? Head on past the break to find out.

Astoria is known for Greek right? Well it also has a great taco truck at the corner of Ditmars Blvd and 31st St, just outside the DAstoria-Ditmars Blvd N/Q Station. The truck itself looks like any other taco truck in the city, but the tacos are anything but. Check out our thoughts after the break.
