About this business

Open for the warm months, Rare View delivers on it's name. Located on the 16th floor of the beautiful Shelburne Hotel, Rare View offers excellent NYC skyline views from atop its Murray Hill location. One feels up close to some of the behemoths that bewilder from street level. It's all quite intimate. The only problem here is the prices soar in the clouds too. Beers can run over just a few dollars. Also lines can form to enter and the elevator is slow. Definitely worth a visit, but stick around for only a drink or so and then... read more

Pretty Good! No match for Island Burger – I have the Mexican burger with guac, salsa and a black bean spread. The burger was pretty good, but I still contend Island Burger is simply the best NYC has to offer. Still worth trying if you're into burgers.

It's Just Burgers – Went here on a quiet weekday afternoon. The burgers really arent that special. I had the RARE classic burger, which was just a typical burger. I heard good things about the burgers here and expected some sort of amazing taste....but it was just a burger like you can make at home. You can get anything you want on your hamburger, but the base price starts at $8 and goes up once you start adding anyhting to it. So you end up with a hamburger that costs over $10. The atmosphere is ok, service decent. If you l... read more

good food, slightly older crowd – The food was excellent, I practically licked my plate clean. Although their specialty Frickle was weird (don't try it, it's a battered and fried pickle). The crowd was a bit mixed, ranging from older folks to tourists (probably because it's inside a hotel) and the music was easy-listening style. We went for a work dinner and I would have preferred a younger, hipper crowd and atmosphere but for a nice dinner with tasty and relatively inexpensive burgers, this place is really good.

Have the Salmon Burger!!! – Calling this a burger is a stretch, but eating it is a dream, and one that you should have. Couple that w/a super friendly and attentive staff (both waiters & bar keeps), and excellent prices, and you're in for a great treat. Imagine hitting this place by accident and being treated to this wonderful experience, well that's what happened to me and now I want others to hear about it too!

RARE is the BEST – I live in the neighborhood and just discovered a gem of a place. I first visited rare a couple weeks ago and have been back 4 times now and never disappointed. They have one of the BEST Turkey burgers I have ever eaten(and trust me im very picky about my turkey burgers). The restaurant is beautiful and the staff are friendly and delightful. I will keep coming back because this is a "RARE" find!!! KKO

Rarely Impressed... LOVED this place – It is RARE for me to find a restaurant that combines food and atmosphere... Let's start with the food: Hands-down, the best burgers in the City. I went with a group of friends, and we were treated like royalty (I think it is connected to the Shelbourne Hotel). It might be a crime to miss out on the burgers. This place will easily become a neighborhood hot-spot, although as it becomes more popular it might have to deal with being TOO popular (good for dates, business, groups etc.). I'm R... read more
