## Story

Slated to officially open on May 22, the Smith Haven restaurant is corporate-owned and operated and follows the brand’s first New York opening in Roosevelt Field Mall earlier this year.

New York Fries, operated under Recipe Restaurant Group, features a niche menu starring freshly cut fries, made with Idaho potatoes, served plain or loaded with a variety of toppings including beef chili, pulled pork, queso and crumbled bacon. Also on the menu, a classic Canadian delicacy - poutine - topped with beef gravy and Wisconsin cheese curds for guests across the East Coast to discover and enjoy. Additionally, the New York Fries features all-beef grilled hot dogs and an array of delicious, loaded dog options.

“Between our initial restaurant in Roosevelt Field and our most recent opening in Jersey City, we’ve received such a warm welcome since officially re-entering the U.S.,” said Craig Burt, Chief Operating Officer at New York Fries. “Our fresh-cut fries are taking over the East Coast and we can’t wait for mall-goers in Smith Haven and guests in Lake Grove to come by and enjoy.”

New York Fries differentiates itself by cooking its freshly cut potatoes in non-hydrogenated sunflower oil using a unique 3 stage method. As nothing else goes into the fryers except potatoes, the brand appeals to those with dietary and allergen restrictions, serving vegan, vegetarian and gluten-friendly items.
