Holy Cow has closed its outpost on the southeast corner of 14th Street and Avenue B.
The burger joint at 600 E. 14th St. had been dark in recent weeks, and now the "Holy" has been removed from the signage, leaving just "Cow Burgers" above the storefront.
Holy Cow debuted here in the fall of 2024, taking over from M & J Asian Cuisine, which had been at the corner for 10 years.
The company's online ordering page still lists the East Village location and hours, so there's no official word on the closure just yet (other than Google's Permanently Closed).
Perhaps the missing "Holy" is official enough.
The burger chain started on the Lower East Side in 2018... the brand's other outposts remain open in the tri-state area.
H/T John B. & Salim!
OMG now there only 20 hamburgers chains in EV !
ReplyDeleteI was excited for this place, but went once and….meh.
ReplyDeleteThis has been my burger experience. I do like george motz, almost all others are interchangeable with variations on a theme.
DeleteUnfortunately Hamburger America is pretty far away from the neighborhood.
DeleteHave you tried Fat Ronnie's on 6th Ave? They passed hefty samples in the street and we couldn't believe the high quality of the beef!
6th Ave. is not in the east village either. This comment has a strong whiff of shilling about it.
DeleteOh yeah, I'm Fat Ronnie indeed... And 11:36 is actually the real George Motz. Geez...
DeleteI passed by it a few weeks ago and they had a sign up that said the city shut them down for not paying their gas bill. They had taken it down by the evening.
ReplyDeleteFunny, since the City doesn't collect gas bills.
DeleteKind of a depressing place. Will not be missed.
ReplyDeleteI went in once and there was nothing green on the menu, and no vegetables at all unless you count french fries and ketchup.
ReplyDeleteDid not become a customer.
I love the name! It's so in your face for vegetarians and vegans😜
ReplyDeleteAs someone who has spent quite a bit of time in India, where cows are revered, I don’t think it’s at all “in your face” that way. I am not vegetarian or vegan btw.
DeleteYou're not a big fan of Phil Rizzuto either, I'm assuming...
DeleteThey're all the same unfortunately. So unless it's a unique twist to it and far beyond good (price point as well)... Won't last
ReplyDeleteTough corner. Maybe something nostalgic like a bank ATM can take its place.
ReplyDeleteYou want the best burger good butcher and pick ups some grass fed organic ground beef and save yourself $50. No restaurant will put the care into making something as you can do yourself.
ReplyDeleteIt was halal meat.
ReplyDeleteMeat is Murder
ReplyDeleteRumor is lease violations. Possibly eviction maybe? Who knows. Can say for certain the city did not shut them down for not paying their gas bill. That can’t be true.
