Shake Shack
About
This Shake Shack in Downtown Crossing is a branch of the New York-born burger chain, serving its classic burgers, fries, shakes and frozen custard. Beyond the standard menu, the shop offers a few local exclusives. The best known is the Pie Oh My concrete, vanilla frozen custard blended with pieces of seasonal pie from Four & Twenty Blackbirds, a dish that also raises money for a Massachusetts hunger nonprofit.
Shake Shack grew out of a hot dog cart in New York’s Madison Square Park, launched by restaurateur Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group in 2001, and the first permanent Shack opened there in 2004. The chain is known for made-to-order Angus beef burgers, crinkle-cut fries and frozen custard. The Downtown Crossing shop is listed as both a casual dining spot and a takeout option.
