It doesn't matter if it's artisan bullshit, oversaturation will kill his businesses if he continues to charge upscale prices for friggin burgers and shakes. Even the most gullible consumer will wake up and see it's not worth 20 bucks for it. This whole foodie zeitgeist is going to end one day, and from the looks of it sooner than he and his peers thinks.

These are tourist destinations so that's why the ones outside of NY don't seem to be as busy. Superiority Burger is much better in my opinion, the burnt brocolli salad is great, their veggie burger is a dollar cheaper, and the lines are usually not as long.Giovannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11061991537085810824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-65464843132730402502017-08-07T14:02:45.343-04:002017-08-07T14:02:45.343-04:0070s and Columbys, 35th and Broad, 23rd and Broad, ...70s and Columbys, 35th and Broad, 23rd and Broad, 8th and Broad (sorta), Danny Meyer just made a diagonal line of his chain through Manhattan.
