After extensive research I'm going to say that Zaitzeff has the best burgers in the East Village. And not that I would know this from personal experience or anything, but they deliver in a huge radius, and the burgers actually travel well. The house made Portuguese bun is key.

Bring it on (the $10 sauce anyway)!!

The "psychic" creature has correctly predicted all six of Germany's World Cup games and, amid excruciating drama broadcast live on national television on Tuesday, plumped for Spain, causing anguish up and down the country.
And the eight-legged soccer soothsayer was spot on Wednesday, as Carlos Puyol's header shattered Germany's dreams of winning their fourth World Cup.

Two plastic boxes, one with a German flag and one with a Spanish, were lowered into Paul's tank at an aquarium in western Germany, each with a tasty morsel of food inside. The box which Paul opens first is adjudged to be his predicted winner. But with classic fickleness, German fans turned against their beloved octopus after he forecast a Spanish win.
