New Five Guys Outpost to Sizzle in NoMa

RARELY DOES A PRESS RELEASE make my stomach rumble, but I've got a soft spot in my belly for Five Guys Burgers and Fries. The greasy beef purveyor is the subject of an e-mail blast from the NoMa — that's North of Massachusetts Ave. — Business Improvement District.

According to the BID, a new Five Guys outpost will open this summer in a retail building near the New York Avenue Metrorail stop. Its home will be adjacent to the new headquarters for the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives — the ATF — which was just dedicated last week. It'll join Pound Coffee, Heidi's Brooklyn Deli and Sister's Pizza & Mussels, the BID says.

If you're curious, you can find out more about the ATF retail building at this real estate listing aimed at potential commercial tenants.

And here's a fun fact: There are now 262 Five Guys eateries along the East Coast. Holy franchising!

Now, it's time to scarf up some lunch. Although the Lean Cuisine next to me now seems even less appetizing than usual.
