You can haz cheeseburger

When there are still a few hours until closing time, I find that I need to put some fat and some protein into my belly. Striding around town consuming tall boys and Jägermeister is not only taxing on the cash clip, it strains the gut as well. Revivification comes in the form of two toasty disks served in a little red oblong basket. At a $1.50 each, soft, warm cheeseburgers can recharge someone without siphoning off the scratch pocketed for pool and suds. Thank God for that. So, when I feel a primal scream raging from my hollow gastro sack, I head into the kitchen at the Old Tavern Bar & Grill in Midtown. Then I stick around for competitive games of pool, pitchers of beer and weirdish, flirty babes. What more could you ask for on a slow weeknight? 1510 20th Street, (916) 444-5595.
