In October, fans lined up around the block to experience New York's first Chick-fil-A. About three months later, following a Christmas Eve health inspection that "uncovered a host of critical violations, resulting in 59 violation points," the metro-Atlanta based chain closed to store for maintenance, Gothamist reports. The towering location reopens for breakfast on Monday.

Dunwoody Chick-fil-A opens with free food for locals
A sign on the door said the W. 37th Street Chick-Fil-A would close for a few days "to ensure we continue to provide our guests with the best possible service and experience." After "restaurant maintenance and facility updates" the branch opens at 6:30 a.m. Monday.
The location has been a huge hit. As AJC Unofficial Business columnist Matt Kempner reported, "The three-story operation in Manhattan's Garment District easily broke Chick-fil-A records for peak-hour traffic," and customer feedback on speed of service have been better than expected.
The company's official Twitter feed hasn't addressed the New York store - or anything else - today. As everyone knows, the chain is closed on Sundays.
