not sure about best, but there are several options to spend a ton of money on a burger in NYC.
there's several place that makes burgers with the trimmings from their $200 or so Japanese Kobe steaks.
there's another that makes this "burger"
The $50 hamburger at Daniel Boulud’s db Bistro Moderne is crafted from ground sirloin, stuffed with foie gras and braised short ribs and topped with shaved black truffles
...
and another, sounds sort of nice!
a 135-year-old steakhouse called The Old Homestead... the city’s first $41 burger, a 20-ounce mound crafted from American Kobe beef...It arrives covered with a mixture of Shiitake, Portobello, Oyster, Crimini and Lobster mushrooms. The bun—sorry, the Reggiano focaccia—is covered with 13 different baby greens...the burger is accompanied to the table by three unmarked dishes of familiar red, yellow and white condiments. But lest one worry that he is adulterating the burger with mere Heinz, Gulden’s or Hellmann’s, the restaurant has fashioned homemade versions: a chipotle ketchup, a stone-ground Champagne mustard and a horseradish aioli
