An outpost of Fat Boys Burgers is coming soon to 231 First Ave. between 13th Street and 14th Street.
This will be he second location for the burger joint, first launched by two brothers and a cousin on Ninth Avenue in Hell's Kitchen. (All three were born and raised in that neighborhood, helping out at the family-owned A&A Deli, now Healthy Market.)
Fat Boys offers a variety of burgers (including a meatless version), fries, chopped chicken fries (chopped fried chicken, cheese and gordo sauce served over fries), and shakes.
This First Avenue storefront was most recently Chick-N-Smash, which debuted in December 2023. Locals will recall this space was home for 18 years to Vinny Vincenz until the spring of 2021.
