Fire Closes Menchanko Tei & Five Guys

Wednesday morning, there was a fire in the building that houses Menchanko Tei on 55th btw. 5+6th, forcing them to close along with Onigashima and the Five Guys Burgers and Fries on the same block.  Menchanko Tei says they’re hoping to be back open in a week, while Five Guys is not answering their phone.  Five Guys is always packed on Fridays, so I’m guessing there will be a lot of disappointed people today. Another prediction: Burger Joint (on 56th btw. 6+7th) and Men Kui Tei (on 56th btw. 5+6th) will be mobbed…

    Man, everyone beat me to the “burger well done” joke. You guys are quick, if a bit petulant about the Walgreens sandwich still.

    If I find out some asshole at Five Guys burned down Menchanko Tei, there will be hell to pay.
