White Manna • 1946

Thin-patty sliders seared on a griddle with onions and American cheese define White Manna, a tiny Hackensack diner born from a 1939 World's Fair pavilion and slinging burgers since 1946. The counter wraps around the grill, where cooks flatten fresh beef onto Martin's Potato Rolls in a choreography that caught the eyes of Guy Fieri and Anthony Bourdain. Lines form daily for these nickel-sized masterpieces, still made the same way nearly eight decades later.
