Local restaurant legend Danny Meyer has gone a little low-brow with his fast-ish food venture, Shake Shack—and New Yorkers are loving it. The Upper West Side Shack is an eat-in joint just across Columbus Avenue from the American Museum of Natural History. Although the lines may be long at lunchtime, the grub is good and well priced.
Slinging "crowd-pleasing", "old-school" burgers and "creamy smooth" shakes, Danny Meyer's "über-popular" mini-chain is a "fast-food revelation" thanks to "cheap, high-quality" eats; "outrageous" lines and "musical-chairs" seating come with the territory, so regulars prefer the less frenzied "off hours."
Shake Shack Restaurant Review:
This second Shake Shack location can be found a block away from Central Park and across from the American Museum of Natural History. It has an enclosed sidewalk cafe and a lower level "rec room" with big screen TVs displaying local sporting events. Burgers, hot dogs and concrete---thick frozen custard---are among the menu items. Wine and local, seasonal beer are also available.
Editorial review from KidScore:
Located in Madison Square Park, this fun burger and shake place will please everyone, including your wallet (burgers are only $3.50)....
