Flame-kissed and floppy, Holiday House’s signature cheeseburger stands up to its reputation as an old-fashioned burger of the drugstore variety. The patty comes topped with a mound of grated cheese, a slew of diced white onions, and the requisite tomato and pickle rounds wedged between Frisbee-sized soft buns. We like the Airport location with the convenient drive-through, and we’re keeping our fingers crossed that the venerable Tarrytown neighborhood hangout doesn’t lose its lease to an animal-rights activist when it comes up for renewal.
