When Sunny’s main man Leo invited her for lunch at Burger Joint, Mama we were in! A self-proclaimed burger connoisseur I was excited to try the Greenwich Village outpost of the legendary Burger Joint housed in Le Parker Meridien Hotel. The original Burger Joint in midtown is small and not at all stroller friendly. I was pleased to see that this one was! While there isn’t a specific stroller parking area, as long as you go early (meaning, not when the NYU kids are happy hour-ing) it is definitely possible to dine with a stroller or two in tow.
The laid back vibe (complete with menus written on cardboard strips) makes the Burger Joint a great pick for a fun stress-free weekend lunch as long as you don’t require a booster seat or high chair.
The menu is simple – burgers. So if you are looking for a wider menu this is not your place. Go figure, Sunny wasn’t in the mood for a burger when we went but luckily our waitress happily brought her a side of bacon – crisis averted!
As burgers go, this one is a bit pricey but it’s worth it.
No high chair? No problem for Simon (aka “The Chillest baby in NYC”) and his mama Martha!
Bonus Points:
- Kid-friendly plastic cups with covers (hooray for no spills!)

- No apple juice (Sunny asked me to include that for her friends that simply NEED it when eating burger)
- They make a good grilled cheese (your only other option if you don’t want burgers). They refer to it as the “Cheeseburger, hold the meat”
The only person not eating a burger at The Burger Joint!
A baby hot spot!
