While famous fast food chains may have started as burger joints and fried chicken stands to satisfy lunch and dinner crowds, most now offer a full breakfast menu. McDonald's egg McMuffin and crispy hash browns won American hearts and tummies early on but Sonic is a fast food chain with a seriously underrated breakfast menu worth exploring. We tasted and ranked 12 Sonic breakfast items and found that the SuperSonic breakfast burrito is the item worth ordering every single time.
The fast-food chain, known for its burgers, limeades, and customizable drink combinations, opened its first-ever Manhattan location this week on Third Avenue near East 106th Street. The East Harlem restaurant is SONIC's fifth in New York City, joining locations in Crown Heights, Williamsburg, East New York, and Long Island City. To celebrate the opening, the SONIC Foundation announced a $10,000 donation to support East Harlem public schools through the education nonprofit DonorsChoose, which helps fund classroom projects across the country.
