The national restaurant chain specializing in chef-crafted burgers and craft beer, BurgerFi plans to reopen its flagship eatery on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in December.  The reimagined space will feature the chain’s first Better Burger Lab, which the company says will give customers the opportunity to help decide what’s on the menu.

Members of the BurgerFi Rewards Programs, known as V-Fi-Ps, will receive invitations to special tasting events held at the restaurant. BurgerFi’s award-winning burgers are made from all-natural beef, free of hormones and other additives.
