We asked you to help us find the city's very best burger, and you made your opinions known. Voting closed yesterday in the initial round of of this year’s Battle of the Burger, and these are the mouth-watering patties that came out on top. From classic NYC staples like 21 Club and Shake Shack to relative newcomers like Genuine, a wide-range of excellent bun-fillers round out the reader favorites on this year's list.

But we can't declare a final champion without giving you a chance to try the best burgers for yourself! So on August 19, a group of this year’s top contenders will be flipping burgers live at South Street Seaport. You’ll get to sample the finalists' patties at the event, where you'll cast your vote to crown the ultimate winner. May the best burger win!
