Burger joint fad continues: Select Burger coming to First Avenue (aka Burger Alley)

Minutes after reading The Real Deal's piece on the number of burger joints on the rise in NYC... I spotted this new sign for a coming-soon burger joint on First Avenue near 14th Street...



Meanwhile, on the other side of the street, Tallgrass Burger is coming to the former Elvie's Turo-Turo... and, further south, who can forget Permanent Brunch & Burger?

A Hamburger Today asks a good question:

Is First Avenue in the East Village About to Become the New Hamburger Alley?

    Well, you know, since there really isn't a decent burger place in the EV, burger wars on 1st Avenue might be a good thing.

    Telephone had good burgers, but too pricey. Paul's steams them like potstickers. Atomic Wings and Dallas BBQ, meh. Veselka's are better than they used to be, but still very greasy and the rolls are tough.

    I'd love a Burger Heaven down here, but in the meantime I'll have to settle...

    Oh Elvie's. How I miss thee.

    But you know, HippieChick, I really enjoy Blue 9 Burger down on 11th and 3rd or so...

    Not that I've seen, anon... I haven't seen anyone work on it either.
