Flip Bringing More La Frieda Burgers to Midtown on Monday
TONY is reporting that Flip, the new burger place in Bloomingdales (on 3rd or Lex btw. 59+60th), is set to open on Monday (2/23). It will feature “three different Pat LaFrieda beef blends—hearty (short rib), sweet (brisket) and refined (Wagyu)—With toppings like a fried egg, chili, Canadian bacon, and multiple cheeses.” My heart hopes that these burgers will be under $10, but my brain says there is no way. And here I was thinking that the black label at City Burger was the last over $10 burger I’d be splurging on (what can I say? I’m a sucker for the fried egg topped burger.) [via Eater]

I don’t know… burgers seem pretty recession proof. I need to know how much they’re going to cost before I pass judgement

9:41 was me…. :)

So tempting…I’ll probably shell out for one (with fried egg, of course) if it’s sub $12. With fries, presumably.
Good burgers are hard to come by in Midtown Nor-East.

Bloomies is full of tourists, women w/ welding glasses/ugg’s and gay men. If you are willing to pay hundreds of dollars for purses, shoes and accessories, you can easily justify sitting at the counter on your Blackberry whilst enjoying a premium beef patty.

grub street just put up a menu, way way out of midtown lunch price, the cheapest burger would be $12 with no cheese, fries drink or anything. cheese a dollar, toppings like the egg another $2.

tasty burgers, tasty fries, tasty shakes. great waitresses, great managers, great hostess and bartenders. everybody was super nice!
Methinks the time to open such places was last year. In this economy, I don’t see this business model as sustainable. FAIL.
