Signage alert: Herbie's Burgers on 1st Avenue

Signage for Herbie's Burgers is up at 109 First Ave., between Sixth and Seventh Streets. 

This is the brand's first Manhattan outpost, which got its start in Albany in 2021... with more locations opening across the Capital Region. There's also a Herbie's in Williamsburg now. 

Herbie's specializes in smash burgers, shoestring fries and milkshakes. They also offer vegan burgers and a vegan version of their chicken sandwich and tenders. 

No word on an opening date. 

The address was previously the rarely open Yumsem Eats, which sold Korean street food.

    Imo one of the untold victims of the Pandemic were good fries in nyc. All the places that had fries that needed more labor (aka shoestring and the like) switched to generic fries.

    I'm really pleased to hear that this place is offering the best fry format.
