Review of Donovan's Pub

On Friday night 5 February, Juche 99, a comrade of mine and I watched an episode of the hit-American t.v. show, How I Met Your Mother. The episode was entitled "The Best Burger in New York". After watching the episode, we decided to go on a search for the best burger in New York City. The first restaurant listed was Peter Luger's Steakhouse, which we had heard is better known for their prices and steaks as opposed to their burgers. We then decided to go to Donovan's Pub.
The journey to get there was long and arduous. After a few glasses of absinthe, discovering that we had to take a shuttle bus to get to the proper subway stop was a great inconvenience. Especially when we discovered that we didn't even have to take the shuttle bus. We finally arrived at the restaurant walking 6 blocks in -10C temperatures.
We started with an appetizer of onion rings, which weren't anything that one couldn't find in the supermarket. The burger, was certainly not the best burger in New York, nor the best burger that I've ever had. The burger was delicious. The meat patty was the best part. The meat was thick, and the meat did fall apart in my mouth. I would have preferred it if it was slightly more rare. The bacon on top was plentiful also. The bun was disappointing along with the additional toppings, just lettuce and a tomato. There was too much lettuce, and no pickle, nor onions, nor any other topping? I certainly think the best burger in New York has to have something other than just lettuce and tomato. The waitresses were surly at best and the service was sub-par. It took longer to get the check than it did to get the bill. A small tip was earned, especially since tip means, "To Ensure Promptness".
