Serving what many consider to be New York's best burger in an old-school pub environment, J.G. Melon has been an Upper East Side staple since 1972. It's since seen the likes of famed politicians, writers, and celebrities. Even Grace Kelly once had to wait over an hour for a table and sat at the bar drinking Heineken – or so the story goes. The decor, highlighted by numerous sculptures and pictures of melons, looks like it hasn't been updated since opening, but that's what gives this storied spot its undeniable classic charm.
