Wahlburgers is now open in Manhattan on the Upper East Side at 1633 Second Ave.
The chain has had its eye on Manhattan, starting with the Upper East Side, and is also opening in coming months in Times Square.
"I'm all about making people happy, and there's no better way to do that than with food," said Executive Chef Paul Wahlberg. "Our goal is to put a smile on the face of every New Yorker and out-of-town visitor who walks into our place."
Wahlberg said it's the quality of the meat and bun that makes or breaks the burger, so he uses a proprietary blend of beef and artisan buns baked by local bakers using all natural grains and pure ingredients.
"House-made condiments then take it to the next level, whether it's the basics like mustard, ketchup and pickles, or something more adventurous like butternut squash," he said.
