New NYC Restaurant: Five Napkin Burger

So, not quite sold on that $186 burger? Five Napkin Burger opens today in New York, and we can't wait to hit it up. The brainchild of Nice Matin chef Andy D'Amico, the menu's signature offering is a 10-ounce beef patty topped with Comté cheese and caramelized onions, served on a rosemary aioli-slathered roll.

More adventurous grill hounds can try the Rarebit Bacon Burger (with white cheddar cheese and grilled bacon), the Ahi Tuna Burger (it has ginger, scallions, wasabi mayo and tempura fried onions) or the fancy Mediterranean-inspired Lamb Kofta Burger (topped with tomato, onion salad and green tahini sauce). There are a couple other non-burger menu options, but remember: The place isn't called Five Napkin Artichoke Dip.

The decor's as manly as you'd imagine, with meat hooks, dim lighting and easy-to-clean white tiling. You'll also find loads of specialty cocktails, wines and beer to keep you happy. Our summer might just be complete.
