I live just outside of NYC and we have Chipotle here and I've also seen
them in PA. My kids both think they're great, and I don't think their
food is bad, either. I'd certainly pick them over McD or similar.

I just looked on their web site - because they're all over NYC, there
are literally dozens of them within 20 miles of where we live. 6 of
them are within 10 miles.

When we're pressed to find something quick to eat, we've often chosen a
sandwich from Starbucks - I don't think they're bad, but since they're
not a burger I guess that's outside of the parameters of the original
question. The other choice for us is simply to find a grocery store -
many grocery stores now sell store-made sandwiches, many also have a
salad bar which, if I include things like cheese, can provide quite a
nice dinner for me or my wife. A salad with cottage cheese and bacon
bits - yum...
