Minetta Tavern New York City ; ONLY THE BURGER IS WORTH IT!

Yes I'm screaming. The black label burger is the best I've ever had and the price is now $28 up from $26 a month ago (please tell Mr Bernanke that we do have inflation).
We also had the bone-in strip steak - $59 for a huge strip that contains 70% fat and about 7-8 bites of great meat and a $48 veal chop which doesn't even compare to the $29 great veal chop at Wollensky grill.
The sides are mediocre - fries are sad and a little sogy, the punched potatoes lacked salt, the spinach is good.
The wine list is pathetic, very few good value choices (a $110 Cotes du Rhone? Are you kidding?).
Frankly, the place is a rip-off. Yes, the black label burger is great, but everything else is overpriced and frankly not worth it. The steak at Wolfgang and Sparks is better, the porterhouse at Keens is better, the veal chop at Wollensky is better.
As for the famous scene, forget it, I could care less if celebrities and good looking young people have more money than sense and want to patronize the place. I'll take my business to any other steakhouse in NYC
