Tender Greens Opens First NYC Location on Monday - Eater NY
"West Coast fast-casual chain Tender Greens makes its East Coast debut today in the former Craftbar space in Flatiron — serving a similar menu of seasonal entrees, soups, and salads that landed the company the Danny Meyer seal of approval in California. The restaurant seats 66 people and features a 'chef's counter' with a view of the kitchen. Additions to NYC include a lobster salad and beers from Brooklyn Brewery and Sixpoint Brewery. Standards of the chain like a fried chicken sandwich, salt and pepper chicken, and herb-brushed tuna, are also available. Run by executive chef Peter Ballistreri, the menu allows visitors to customize a meal based on protein and sides. Compared to Sweetgreen and Dig Inn, Tender Greens offers easy, American, fairly affordable, fairly healthy, and pretty basic meals." - Serena Dai
