Chick-fil-A, the Southern chicken-sandwich chain that has drawn both controversy and copycats over the years, has finally arrived in New York.
The company will open a 5,000-square-foot (465-square-meter), three-level restaurant in Manhattan’s Garment District on Saturday that will be the chain’s largest location in the nation. Chick-fil-A has operated a restaurant with a limited menu at New York University since 2004, but it took years to find a space for a proper expansion into the city, said David Farmer, vice president of product strategy.
