Shake Shack Empty Over the Weekend
Yesterday I found myself giving Midtown some weekend love in the form of showing a tourist family member around. (I know, it sucks. But it had to be done.) I decided my sweet reward would be a little concrete action from the newly open Shake Shack (on 8th Ave. and 44th) I’ve been hearing about (lines be damned!) And guess what? No line. None, whatsoever. Maybe all the tourists were down in Madison Square Park? Or maybe they’re just scared of 8th Avenue? Regardless, if you’re dying for one of the new concretes, (or feel the need to pick up a little onesie for a cute baby) clearly the weekend is the time to do it… although I’m guessing it’s just a matter of time before the tourists get hip to the new location and descend en masse. Can’t bring yourself to venture into Midtown during the weekend? At least prepare yourself for the lunchtime wait with our handy guide to the Shack Shack line.

This was about 4 o’clock.

Yeah I passed around 3 on Sat and it was pretty full.

I stopped in for a concrete on Sunday around 5:15 and there was a small line, but the tables were full. When I left 45mins later there was a line out the door that went just about to the registers.

Doesn’t matter.
The WASHINGTON POST just reported that Washington, D.C., now has the BEST burgers in the country and is the BURGER CAPITAL of the world.
There are rumors here that Shake Shack is coming to our area because Obama just adores burgers.
Eat your hearts out, New Yawk City.
Carrion, please.

Just checked out the line on Thursday at 1pm. It’s down the street and wraps around inside. Not worth the wait. I could take the train up to the Upper West location, eat and come back before getting served here.
What time were you there? We passed by about 5:30 on Saturday and the line was out the door and down to Lace.
