Blogger Manhattan transfer points us to a top-secret greasy burger joint deep inside the swank Parker Meridian.  Sounds like a classic juxtaposition.  

Here is the map:

The Burger Place is hidden in the lobby of New York's Parker Meridien. To get there you enter through the modern glass façade of the hotel, walk through the shiny lobby past the check-in desk, and follow an enormous floor to ceiling curtain long a narrow passage running perpendicular to the desk. At the end of the corridor is an unmarked door on the right. Stepping through the door is like entering another world. You go from glitzy New York hotel to divey, greasy, burger haven in the distance of a threshold.

The blogger ads "The patrons are surly, the staff is unaccommodating, and the burgers are great." Perfect.  Kinda sounds like the Parker Meridien itself doesn't it?  Ah, we kid.

Mmm. This burger looks tasty. Even though their menu states, "If you don't see it, we don't have it!" we dare somebody to go in and ask for a cheesburger, animal style. Come on, don't you want to see how the surley staff reacts.
