John McDonald, founder of Mercer Street Hospitality, has opened Bash Burger, a fast-casual restaurant within Urbanspace Vanderbilt food hall near Grand Central Terminal.
At the menu’s heart is a duo of signature burgers, including the BB Classic and award-winning Bash Burger, a long-time favorite at Lure Fishbar and Burger & Barrel as well as six-time champion of New York City Wine & Food Festival’s annual “Burger Bash.”
The Bash Burger’s allure is in its perfectly executed simplicity: dressed with bacon onion jam, classic American cheese and shaved pickles, finished with its legendary secret sauce.
The BB Classic is made with lettuce, tomato, and cheese.
Hand-cut fries, fountain drinks, locally brewed beer, wine and craft cocktails are also on offer.
All orders are placed through a virtual kiosk and seating is first come, first serve in Urbanspace’s communal dining area.
Bash Burger is located at 230 Park Avenue between East 45th and East 46th Streets, and is open daily from 11:00am to 9:00pm for pickup, delivery and sit-down service; reservations are not accepted. Visit bashburger.com and follow @championofburgers for more info.
