My top hamburgers in New York City in random order

Hey, well today I thought I would share some of the findings from the qualitative research that I have been doing lately. This is a very scientific study, you see, to determine the top hamburgers in my town. This is basically my opinion, but I wouldn't mislead you (or would I?). Here is a list of places I have tried which I believe to be tops:
(This list is in random order, not number 1 through 7 from best to worst, and please forgive me for any misspelled words.)
1. Primehouse: I went here recently, they make a great hamburger for lunch or brunch, the beef is very high quality, seasoned properly, with excellent fries.
2. Rare bar and grill: I like this restaurant, and they make an incredible, incredibly expensive, t-bone burger which is so good.
3. Shake shack: What can I say, I went from the expensive to the affordable. I prefer the newest location on columbus avenue (near my old internship, hint hint). Their burgers are nicely seasoned and their shakes are to die for (literally?).
4. Rue 57: This place is very touristy, but their burger is pretty good. Oh yeah, and the fries aren't bad either.
5. Ottomanelli's: A local favorite of mine, best burger in the immediate area. This restaurant is quality through and through, you can't go wrong with any dish here, although I am not telling you to travel from outside of manhattan to try it out.
6. Union square cafe: This is always rated as one of the top restaurants in the city, and their burger does not disappoint. (Their calamari is quite excellent as well.)
7. Peter Luger's: Now, I haven't tried this burger yet, but everyone puts it on their top ten lists. In addition, if the beef used for the burger is anything like their steak, then we have nothing to worry about.
8. Burger king: The wopper is... (just kidding, but did I fool you?)
A few popular places didn't make my list, and I am still anxious to try out other fine hamburger establishments. Let me know what you think about my first list, I have a feeling that it will be very contraversial.
