The headline says it all.  Tallgrass Burger, a new burger joint in the old Elvie’s Turo Turo spot on 1st Avenue near 13th street, will open its doors to the East Village at some point today, likely mid-day.  And for the next few weeks, Tallgrass is enticing diners with a special: Buy one burger, get the second 50% off. The menu will feature 6 grass fed beef burgers with meat sourced from New York and Vermont via Hardwick Beef.  A turkey burger and two chicken sandwiches rounds out the menu along with salads and fries.  Since the chicken sandwich is called “flame grilled,” NYC Food Guy is hoping the burgers will meet a similar fate. As of now, the restaurant will be open until 11PM nightly. We’ll see how wise that is with the East Village’s glaring need for a go-to late night, post bar burger spot.  Where’s your favorite late night burger spot? Let us know in the comments section…
