All-Avocado Restaurant Opens In Chelsea

CHELSEA, NY – Avocaderia, the restaurant that puts avocados in everything, opened its first Manhattan location in Chelsea on Thursday.

The popular avocado-based restaurant opened its doors at 271 11th Ave., in the Terminal Stores Building, fresh off a $400,000 investment from the reality investment show "Shark Tank." Barbara Corcoran and Mark Cuban decided to put $400k into the restaurant concept in exchange for a 20 percent share in the young business.

Avocaderia opened in Sunset Park last year, selling out of the avocados it had stocked for its opening in just one day.

The Chelsea location will be open Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m., according to the restaurant's website.

Menu items, which rotate seasonally, currently include an array of avocado toasts, including a New York-themed one made with smoked salmon and everything bagel seasoning, and even an avocado lime cheese cake.
