The Scene
The decor at this small, dark East Village fixture is basic black-and-white-checked diner, but a panoply of cute toys--clowns, tightrope walkers--buzz and whirr overhead. It all makes for a friendly, slightly off-kilter atmosphere that's reinforced by the homespun but sassy service. A couple of TVs show whatever game happens to be on.

The Food
Can a burger be healthy? Probably not, but somehow, the tender, juicy fried 1/2-pound slabs of pure beef (or turkey) at Paul's go down easier--and digest quicker--than those at other New York burger joints. There's no skimping on size or variety; the list offers more than 20 burger options, and you'll need a knife and fork to grapple with topping-stuffed specials like the Eastsider (partly because of the delicious ham, partly because the buns are undersized). Other menu items include Philly cheese steaks, omelettes and sandwiches--and the shakes are good, too.
