Professional skateboarder Neen Williams isn’t just known for his buttery heelflips and stylish parts.
He’s also building something solid off the board. His burger brand, Not A Damn Chance (NADC), just opened a new location in New York City, and it’s another reminder that skaters can do more than just skate. We can build businesses, run crews, and make things happen on their own terms.
Neen posted about the grand opening on his Instagram, saying:
“So stoked on this! Grand opening today for @nadcburger NYC! 11:30am 25 Cleveland PL, New York 10012 Hope to see you here!#notadamnchance #nyc #soho #newyorkfood”
From filming in the streets to flipping plant-based patties, Neen's managed to balance his love for skating with his hustle in the food game.
And he’s not just slapping his name on something, he’s really involved. NADC is all about quality ingredients, good food, and real community. The name might sound like a challenge, but the burgers have been winning people over since day one.
This new spot in NYC adds to the growing presence of NADC, and it’s cool to see how far things have come since Neen started experimenting with healthier living and switching up his lifestyle.
Years ago, when he shifted to eating clean and focusing on fitness, some people probably didn’t expect it. Now he’s got a burger business that lines up perfectly with who he is: thoughtful, focused, and still very much a part of skateboarding culture.
What makes this even cooler is that it shows skaters don’t have to stay in one lane. Just because you grew up skating curbs and rails doesn’t mean you can’t also learn how to build something long-term.
Skaters know how to take hits, keep learning, and stay creative - skills that translate well into running businesses.
So if you’re in NYC and looking for a good bite, check out the new Not A Damn Chance location at 25 Cleveland Place.
