Openings: Crispy Burger on 1st Avenue

Crispy Burger has been in soft-open mode at 137 First Ave. between St. Mark's Place and Ninth Street for the past week... ahead of the official grand opening today. (Friday!) 

Some grand-opening deals include 20% off items during the opening week. (Details on Instagram.) 

And EVG reader Danimal shared a quick recap after a visit yesterday...

Pretty good chicken, fried to order, and really good mozzarella sticks, too. Chicken nuggets were crispy and nice texture inside. What McNuggets wish they could be! Prices are very reasonable. The woman at the register was super friendly and even offered us free beverages ...

This is the latest outpost for the chainlet, which also has outposts in Staten Island, Queens, New Jersey, and Jacksonville, Fla.
