Another Free Burrito Alert (Minus the Music)
Grub Street reports that the final new Chipotle opening in 2008 will be on Madison and 39th, on December 11th- and they’ll be celebrating old school style on December 10th with free burritos from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. 6 p.m. No acoustic bands, no Halloween costumes, and no charity tie-in… just free food, given away to hoardes of freeloaders, just like the old days. I’m down with that.

Is a free Chipotle Burrito REALLY worth the INCREDIBLY RIDICULOUS line that will form? I mean, the line at these places are usually mildly ridiculous for random days…

Actually, I had the free burrito on Tuesday (around 5:30 or so) and the line was not that long. It didn’t go out the door, and it moved fast. It was comparable to waiting for lunch at any busy place in Midtown. I also partook of the free Crumbs cupcake and the free Godiva truffle, and neither of those lines were onerous either. I think people like Lou just get scared off by the idea of lines.
I would never go out of my way to go to Chipotle, but their stuff is not bad at all. And when it’s free, it’s absolutely delicious. Chipotle is like a GMD. I don’t think MidtownLunch maligns them because they’re awful or anything; they’re just not worth discussing. Am I right about this, Zach? (Aside: But I don’t understand why there seem to be randomly chosen chain restaurant locations on the ML map.)

If I remember correctly, the last free burrito was from 5-8 pm… I just expect lunch hour line to be much more chaotic… but im not scared off by it. Just not sure it’s worth usuing my whole lunch break waiting.

It’s not opening today. They are still doing construction work.

Sarah Hellerman will be there today

@Lou: I agree that lunch could be much worse.
i think you mean they will celebrate on December 10th not November…
