With the noble mission to delight New York City tastebuds with healthy (often organic) antibiotic-free hamburgers, organic "air-baked" french fries, preservative-free buns, all-natural smoothies and drinks, and generally reduced-fat yet delicious fare, Better Burger NYC (178 8th Ave., 212-989-6688) has a popular branch in Chelsea (there are others in Hells Kitchen on 9th Avenue and Murray Hill on 3rd Avenue). Feast here on chargrilled beef burgers (or perhaps savory soy burgers, if you're not a carnivore), plus turkey dogs, Cobb salads, fresh-squeezed carrot-orange juice, and organic popcorn. It's one of several great Chelsea options for quick and tasty snacking, some others being Pinkberry, Tasti D-Lite, F&B Gudtfood, Le Pain Quotidien, and Energy Kitchen.
