Signage alert: Skinny Louie on 2nd Avenue

Signage arrived yesterday for a Skinny Louie outpost at 141 Second Ave. between St. Mark's Place and Ninth Street. (Thanks, Feryal!)

This will be the fifth NYC location for the Miami-based smash burger chain. (There are also Skinny Louies in the West Village, Nomad and UES ... with one coming to Penn Station and Park Slope later this year.) 

And this will be the second burger joint in very close proximity. Burgerhead debuted in December, a short distance away on Second Avenue and Ninth Street.

No. 141 has seen many quick-serve concepts, most recently Krave It ... and Planet Taco. Other recent past lives include Otto's Tacos for seven years. Before that, there was Good Guys, a Subway (sandwich shop), part of a Max Brenner outpost, and Burritoville.

H/T Steven!

    More smash burgers, in the east village? Groundbreaking.
