It's hard to believe the latest Shake Shack opening brings the total to just 10 in NYC, when it feels like a new one opens every other day. Danny Meyer will bestow 600 Third Avenue at 40th Street with his beloved burger chain at some point this fall, according to the Post.
But this ain't gonna be no mere shack. The restaurant will take over two floors and span 4,774 square feet, making it one of the largest in the city. Another Shake Shack opened just a few blocks away in Grand Central Terminal last fall.
Update: A rep for Shake Shack confirms the chain will indeed debut at that location sometime this fall but didn't have any further details at this time.
