Popular $2 burgers in Harlem
Don’t try to Google this burger cart: Mo’s in Harlem is not even on Yelp, and Foursquare has just two tips on it from 2012. Maurice “Mo” Robinson has been grilling on Lenox Avenue between 117th and 118th Streets since the ’90s, and he now makes up to 300 burgers, 120 hot dogs, and 100 hot sausages in one day. His prices certainly help — burgers are $2 and hot dogs $1.50, DNAinfo reports.
New hotel restaurant from a celebrated chef
Chef David Laris is descending upon NYC, set to make his U.S. debut after a 31-year career cooking in London, Hong Kong, and Shanghai.

Potential dishes include chicken breast with charred broccoli, fingerlings, Castelvetrano gremolata, and coconut yogurt at the no-tablecloth, a la carte spot. Then, in the spring, he will debut Bellbrook, an Asian-inspired, more formal spot.

It led to two stars for AbcV, and a lonely one for Public Kitchen.
