Gigantic Burger Joint Coming to New Hotel on West 26th Street

What you'll be in for at the new place we're about to blab about just below. This autopsy shot is from the Rare Bar & Grill on Bleecker Street.
I'm pretty jazzed about this one, since this is about two blocks away from the AHT office. The New York Post is reporting that the owner of Rare Bar & Grill has leased a 4,000-square-foot space in the new Wyndham Hotel on 26th between Sixth and Seventh.
If you're familiar with the Rare location at the Shelburne Hotel (Lexington and 37th), owner Douglas Boxer says in the paper, the new place will be like that—different styles of burgers using different types of meat.
Rare doesn't get too much play on AHT, but it is quite good. (See here: Meat-o-philes, Head to Rare Bar & Grill.)
At 26th and Seventh, Brgr is near the site of this hotel and upcoming giganto burger joint. If Rare can match it for price, Brgr will have something to worry about.
