Until the first week of December 2011, I had never heard of the restaurant
Soho Park. Having previously been with the BURGER CLUB to
FoodParc, I thought maybe the place would be cleverly lush with greenery, or perhaps located near a New York City park that I had never heard of. Instead, Soho Park is located directly next to a parking lot in Soho.
Enough with the etymology, on to the burgers!

| YUM! |
First of all, please note for the sake or your pocketbook: burgers and fries sold separately. Please also note: burgers deliciously juicy! The liquidy meaty goodness may or may not be enough to override the awkwardness of the conical basket style of plating (you decide), but it did hearken back to the BURGER CLUB's very first outing in 2009 to
Shake Shack in Madison Square Park. The potato bun, fried zucchini, and french fries were also universally loved around the table.
Excellent food and overall positive Yelp reviews not withstanding, the BURGER CLUB wishes to comment on an aspect of the restaurant that usually goes unaddressed on the burger blog: the service. Despite the fact that there was not a line for seating and other tables sat empty around us, a number of members of the waitstaff deliberately rushed us through the end of our meal. BURGER CLUB President nearly had her "plate" taken out from under her as she enjoyed the final bites of her meaty goodness. Enough said.
Soho Park happens to have a takeout counter for those who desire their burgers to go. After this December's dining experience, perhaps that is actually the way to go.
