"Controversial and wildly popular fried chicken sandwich chain Chick-fil-A is still growing in New York, with plans to open a 12,000-square-foot space in Midtown East. The new location at 711 Lexington Ave., between East 57th and 58th streets, has three floors total. The Atlanta-based chain already has four locations in NYC, including a massive FiDi one that’s the biggest one in the country. The company’s conservative owners have donated millions to anti-LGBTQ causes, but despite NYC’s largely liberal population, people still wait in long lines at lunch hour everyday at the local locations." - Serena Dai
