I moved to Bushwick recently, a quasi-industrial Brooklyn neighborhood where there’s little to do for fun besides count the rats on the subway platform and/or drink $2 PBRs at the one and only neighborhood restaurant,Northeast Kingdom.

The Burger Shoppe, new to the Financial District, is a hip place blending a couple of different old-fashioned eras in one bi-level space and specializing in the classic sandwich that transcends all trends and time [...]
