Steak 'n Shake
1695 Broadway, at W. 53rd St., 212-247-6584
Opening: January 12*
The first outpost of this famed Midwestern burger chain - best known for its Steakburgers, which can be topped with a variety of meats, cheeses, veggies and sauces - is set to open next to the Ed SullivanTheater in midtown. For those who don't want to indulge in an entire burger, mini-Steakburger "shooters" are also available.
