NEW YORK CITY — Florida-based chain BurgerFi will open its first New York City location next week at 1571 Second Ave. on the Upper East Side. The fast-casual restaurant bases its food on the roadside burger stand of the 1950s and 1960s, but with the inclusion of all-natural ingredients. The chain prides itself on its “farm-to-tray” approach, which means humanely raised, antibiotic- and hormone-free beef. Menu items include Wagyu Kobe hot dogs, vegetarian quinoa burgers and frozen custard. The opening is the first of two planned Manhattan locations for the chain. Nationwide, there will be 16 outposts by the end of February, and the plan is to have 60 across the country by the end of the year.
