How excited are New Yorkers for the first Chick-fil-A franchise in Manhattan?
Apparently excited enough to wait in line overnight in the rain for a restaurant that doesn’t open until 6:00 a.m. tomorrow:

There’s a little added incentive, however. The first 100 people in line get free Chick-fil-A for a year:

From the looks of it, those in line are getting Chick-fil-A blankets, too:
