7th Street Burger for 7th Street

Updated: 7th Street Burger opened on June 3.

We heard rumors of a burger place opening at 91 E. Seventh St. just east of First Avenue... and yesterday, the window lettering went up for — ding, ding — 7th Street Burger. 

Not sure at the moment who's behind this venture. Per their website: "7th Street Burger offers classic American smash-burgers for takeout and delivery." 

The menu on the website includes a cheeseburger ($6), an Impossible burger ($7.50) and a grilled cheese ($3.50). They'll also serve Mexican Coca-Cola. 

This space was previously the longtime home to Caracas Arepa Bar, which closed last fall.

Perfect for the thrifty readers.

I hope it's truly an Angel of a place and wish them success. Can't wait to check it out. Even if the grilled cheese is the size of White Castle, I'm looking forward to trying it. Sue me for being thrifty.

Could this be the first time the EVGrumps don't complain about the price of a restaurant!? Those prices are insanely low, welcome to the neighborhood!

I really hate to exhume a phrase popularized by a discarded conman, but is this 'fake news'? The prices seem too good to be true, and the phone number on the website uses the fictitious 'TV' area code and suffix, "555". Hope my intuition is wrong, as it so often is.

I think the phone number in the footer of the web site is just a placeholder that they forgot to update.
In the "contact us" section, there's a normal 646-number

I'm sure the burgers are small, but I'll definitely check them out!

The number in the contact drop down menu is 646-490-6797 for Kevin@7thstreetburger.com

Looks like Shake Shack prices. Sounds like a Shake Shack menu. Here's your alternative to shake shack that maybe will accept cash

For about $2 more, you can buy a pack of 4 impossible patties from Whole Foods and make a similar burger with additional servings.

look forward to trying it, but also will miss Caracas Arepa Bar.

@beacon well yes, but a) i'd have to buy the buns and the other ingredients, so add a few more dollars still, and b) the restaurant's time and labor has value. i think a few dollars is a rather fair price for them making food for me. also, it's $7.50 for a burger. what's your benchmark for a reasonably priced burger at a brick and mortar restaurant? even burger king's impossible burger is $7.50.

If I order or eat out in the city, I don't do burgers because it's something I can make at home without much difficulty and it's cost effective.

The only time I would order a burger is when I'm north of the city in some remote area devoid of other types of food which usually goes well with a cold beer. So think of a brewery that serves burgers in the scenic countryside especially during the warmer months.
