22 9th Avenue

I have to admit, I was a little surprised when BR Guest announced the opening of Bill’s Bar and Burger last October – the city has a myriad of burger places already and Pop Burger is right down the street. After seeing Alice in Wonderland in 3D at the Chelsea Clearview Cinema my movie companions and I decided to take advantage of our proximity to 9th Avenue to check it out. The bar has wood floors, brick walls and checkered tablecloths on high-top tables and we were seated right away (probably because it was Oscar Night). The menu is very simple – a few kinds of burgers (the freshly ground LaFrieda blend beef is reminiscent of a Shack Burger, but slightly larger) along with a turkey burger, veggie burger and a fish sandwich. They also serve wings, hotdogs, onion rings, fries and a variety of milkshakes and beers (there’s even a milkshake with beer in it).

Late Dinner:

• Bill’s Classic with American Cheese – cooked medium well and served with lettuce, tomato and pickles on a sesame seed bun
• Onion Rings

Dessert (shared)

• Apple crumb pie (skip it, served half-frozen and it never really thawed out)

Good for: Sunday funday, burger cravings, milkshakes
