  Along the way back from my company's New York office, I wanted some juicy burger or hot dog/sausage for lunch.  Unfortunately, most of the street vendors served either roasted nuts or some kind of Indian thing.  There were a few street meat vendors but they had boiled hot dog.  How can you serve boiled hot dogs as street meat?  You have to grill them on an open flame!  I was starting to miss Harvey's.  I walked by a restaurant called Burger Heaven and since it had the word "burger" in there I was hoping they'd do a decent job on it:

  

  A very plain diner like interior:

  

  My fork and knife were dirty so I stolen the set beside me.

  Classic Beef Burger

  

  I asked for medium well done.  Wow.  That looks well done.  That looks like pure carbon.  No lettuce.  No tomatoes.  Just half a pickle and all you can use ketchup.

  After a couple bites:

  

  After darkening the outside to near black, the inside was still pickish.  The burger was dry and the bun fell apart. 

  The diner didn't give the impression it was clean.  I ordered an iced tea so I didn't get tap water but I they both end up using the same glass and were probably made with the same tap water so I wasn't any more safe.  I didn't get sick at least.  The burger was only $6.55 so it's hard to demand too much.  The burger didn't look appealing when I first got it but it was ediable.  I recommend doing a little more research than I did and find a better burger restaurant.
