Brownstoner reports that the space at 548 Court St. (near 9th St.) will become a burger restaurant. This would be at least the fourth new burger place round our way; JB’s Burger on Smith (between Douglass and Degraw), Ultimate Burgers and Dogs on Degraw (at Clinton, in the former Chicory space) and the more stylish (or at least more expensive) Henry Public (Henry St. between Atlantic and Pacific, in a former TV repair store). There are certainly others. I’ve yet to try the burger at Watty & Meg, but my wife loved hers. And who cares if it’s a chain — Five Guys on Montague is always great.

My own favorite, alas, was Pit Stop — in summers past there was nothing like a Pit Stop burger, a glass of rosé, a few mosquitos, and the pleasant din of children throwing petanque balls at each other. But those days are over.

What’s your pick for the best burger in the neighborhood?
