NKOTB's Donnie Wahlberg "would love to open Wahlburgers" burger chain in Manchester
The New Kids on the Block star may not be keen on the 'Manchester egg' but will certainly be sampling the burger joints when the band plays the o2 Apollo in May.

They were at the former home of the band's brothers Jonathan and Jordan Knight. When they rang the bell, they got a quick tour. "It was going from 31 to 13," Lusso said.
