Chipotle Founder's Fast-Casual Sandwich Shop Is Opening Two New Locations
is a born-and-raised New Yorker who is an editor for Eater's Northeast region and Eater New York, was the former Eater Austin editor for 10 years, and often writes about food and pop culture.
Fast-casual sandwich shop Counter Service is on track to open two more locations this year. The first is coming to Noho at 15 East Fourth Street, at Lafayette Street, starting on Monday, August 25. Then there's one set for the Upper East Side's Lennox Hill neighborhood at 1302 First Avenue, near East 70th Street, in the late fall.
Expect Counter Service's compact, jam-packed breakfast and lunch sandwiches, such as the Smokehouse with roasted chicken, smoky barbecue sauce, and jalapeños in three ways: pickled, roasted, and smoked; and the veggie Gigante with braised chard, kale, and white beans, broccoli rabe, and melted fontina, Parm, and provolone cheeses. Chipotle founder Steve Ells started his growing fast-casual chain earlier this year, a pivot of his short-lived vegan robot restaurant Kernel, in Greenwich Village.
Fine-dining U.S. Open watch parties
Upper East Side fine-dining restaurant Daniel is turning its private dining room into a high-end U.S. Open watch party space next month. The Evian Club is a collaboration with the water brand and its global brand ambassador, American tennis player Frances Tiafoe, along with chef Daniel Boulud. The space is meant to feel like you're actually at the matches while enjoying passed canapés, family-style dishes, and screenings of the tennis competition. Dishes include shrimp and peach salad, Texas wagyu sliders, and Alaskan king salmon. It runs from Wednesday, September, through Sunday, September 7; reservations can be booked online. There will also be an iteration of the dishes available for national shipping through Goldbelly.
