Best burgers?

Yesterday I met Maki for burgers. I haven't had a burger in quite some time. Over the summer, we had met for lunch. She said she wanted a burger and took me to a cute street in the Wall Street area. We looked around at the restaurants with outdoor seating and chose one which seemed to offer good ones. There was a ten to fifteen minute wait for a table. We waited.

After being seated, the waiter appeared. We ordered burgers. "Just a moment," he said and disappeared. When he returned he said they had sold out of them.

Time Out just published their list of the best burgers in New York. Maki had the issue in hand when I met her at the Apple store. Fanelli's had a spot in the top ten (The Corner Bistro was surprisingly absent) and so we went. I hadn't expected to eat a burger for lunch. As a concession, I ordered a salad instead of fries, which proved to be a surprisingly good combination. But the burger, while tasty, doesn't quite beat Corner Bistro in my book.
