Gimme Five: The overhyped Washington D.C. chain finally makes its Manhattan debut, with its famous over-the-top-gimmicks (posting the town in Idaho where the fries were born) and well-done burgers (“regular” with two patties, “little” with one). Fortunately, loads of fresh, free condiments are available, like fried onions and quality mayo. Nobody will argue about the fries, though: They’re memorable, cut medium thick and fried to a golden brown in peanut oil. Manhattan’s a bit late coming to the party—there are over 200 locations in the region, including one in Brooklyn and another in Queens—but we don’t hear the hordes of Midtown cubicle dwellers complaining, since the place will likely get its fill of office traffic duking it out with the Midtown tourist crush.
