Openings: Whits brings the sliders to St. Mark's Place

Photos and reporting by Stacie Joy 

Whits had its grand opening last week at 34 St. Mark's Place between Second and Third Avenues. 

The quick-serve venture is the work of Larry Kramer (above), who also operates Whitmans on Ninth Street (plus Hudson Yards) and Cello's Pizzeria next door here on SMP.
On the menu: sliders, hot dogs, fries and onion rings — hitting most of the core food groups. (Even more once the beer license comes through. Also, no vegan-veggie options yet, but those are in the works.)

When we stopped by, two couples dining here were quite enthusiastic about their meals...
Hours: Closed Monday; 4–11 p.m. Tuesday–Wednesday; noon–midnight Thursday; noon–2 a.m. Friday–Saturday; noon–11 p.m. Sunday.

    I saw they were open on Tuesday and popped my head in (unfortunately I'd just eaten). They already had a little crowd formed, it smelled delicious and the menu is delightfully straightforward.

    Inflation is indeed a bitch! Good luck Whits, I'm happy to see the Whitmans expansion.

    Stopped in for a slider and a ripper dog. Solid.
