Harlem Classic
Hot Mess
Do the Harlem Shake and enjoy one of the best burgers around. A 1950’s diner feel that captures the spirit of the neighborhood with multiple unique burgers. You might even be lucky enough to see a familiar face dining next to you, as their “Wall of Fame” features the many celebrities who have enjoyed a meal at Harlem Shake.
The Burger: Harlem Classic (Tier 2). Two smashed patties of their proprietary burger blend, homemade pickles, white onion, special sauce, and one slice of American cheese on a buttered and toasted Martin’s potato roll. These patties are seared to perfection, so much so that their picture should be the official definition of a smash burger.
Pro Tip: You may be tempted, but don’t add an extra slice of cheese; they do one slice right! In addition to the Harlem Classic, a visit is incomplete without trying their Harlem Jerk or Hot Mess burgers. The Hot Mess took home the 2018 Time Out New York Battle of the Burger Judge’s Choice Award.
The Occasion & Vibe: Groups. Harlem Shake is built on community, so bring your friends and enjoy!
The Location: Multiple Locations. Harlem, Park Slope.
