A server brings an order to the table at the new Smashburger restaurant in the shadow of the Empire State Building in New York on its grand opening day, Thursday, April 10, 2014. The popular Colorado chain, which has a cultish following, opened its first Manhattan outpost  bringing their burgers, smashed to order to the Big Apple. The fast casual restaurant has a loyal fan base and has 260 restaurants worldwide. The franchise welcomed their Manhattan customers by offering a free Classic Smashburger to each patron all day, with the line eventually stretching around the block.  (© Richard B. Levine)
