Set in the heart of the Meatpacking dristrict on Little West 12th and 10th is the three story funhouse, Brass Monkey.  Two floors of tables and booths, numerous bars and a roof top deck with veiws of the Hudson and Highline.  Watch your Knicks or Nets, Giants and Jets and enjoy some lunch washed down by a giant menu of cold ones.  At night the Monkey starts hopping with young co-eds and all the single ladies.  Whether day or night they’ve got big screen TV’s, cold frothy beers and of course a Burger…duh, who doesn’t?  The Brass Monkey burger is pretty weak…why? The meat is overdone and dry, the onion was too thick (I might as well have eaten an onion like an apple) and was poorly seasoned lacking flavor.  The Gruyere cheese was melted well enough oozing over the edges and was the only thing that helped this little dud from striking out.  Maybe I cought them on a bad day or maybe it always tastes like Br-ass??- BB
