Where would you recommend Roger Federer eat burgers in New York City if you were in his shoes?
In the run-up to the 2023 Met Gala, at which the 20-time winner of the men’s singles title at a Grand Slam tournament will be serving as a co-chair, followers of his Instagram account have been asking and trying to answer this question.
Federer checks in with his first post of the week to be tagged with the New York location and posts a couple of goofy photos of himself holding a burger, but he fails to mention the location from whence he obtained his quarter-pounder.
Was the 20-time Grand Slam champion near the Metropolitan Museum on the Upper East Side or Brooklyn? Internet spies, please.
Emerging so rapidly on the scene were two competing hypotheses, neither of which stood the test of time. Had he been to Brooklyn’s Red Hook Tavern during his visit?
One customer stated that he had visited the southern borough earlier in the week, and the artwork, which features floral themes, seemed to be quite comparable to what is seen in the restaurant’s listing in the Michelin Guide.
Others were under the impression that the former world No. 1 was located on the Upper East Side, in close proximity to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which is the venue for the annual Met Gala.
According to the opinion of one user, “Definitely JG Melon.” “Those fries and that burger are recognizable to me everywhere. The very best in all of NYC!
Is there a verdict that can be announced at this time? Where exactly does Roger get his pizza, as this is the most significant question?
