Updated 2 p.m. This outpost will not be serving breakfast. (Grand Central Terminal is the only Shake Shack in Manhattan currently serving breakfast.) The hours on the LES are 11 a.m. to midnight.

There's now an opening sign here on the SE corner at Norfolk. (Thanks to EVG reader Rhys L. for the photos!)
News of this arrival dates to July 2022. (Signage arrived in November.)
There was some doubt that the Shack would ever open here... in late June, the landlord's reps affixed a legal notice on the gate seeking $194,974.79 "for rent for the Subject Premises."
The last tenant here, Schiller’s Liquor Bar, closed after 14 years in 2017.
Does the one in the former Cooper Union building on 3rd ave bet St. Marks and 9th not count?
ReplyDeleteAnother chain.
ReplyDeleteAnd? People said that before Kmart opened in the 90s. I'd rather see more businesses and jobs.
DeleteThis burger chain is Rip off
DeleteKmart actually offered useful products

ReplyDeleteTechnically the Cooper Union one is in the East Village, this new one is the LES (even though once upon a time the EV was all part of the LES).
On My street Rivington - which is mostly small tenement buildings - just more noise and trash in an area that already is over saturated. very unhappy about this - grease pit opening - i guess the McNally group still had lease from when it was Schillers.
ReplyDeleteWondering out loud why all fast food places gotta be so stingy and precious about breakfast. Either offer it without all the weird limitations, stipulations, conditions, whining, etc, or just don't offer it at all. Nobody got a gun to your head.
ReplyDeleteYes to another business that fills an empty storefront. Their fries are pretty good, and so is their milk shake.
ReplyDeleteEmpty buildings are a blight. A restaurant that employs people is always a net gain for the neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Now, the LES? The quality of Shake Shack has dwindled ever since our city was shut down during the pandemic. I don't know if it is just me; I could be wrong, but their burgers and fries doesn't taste as well as it used to. Something is off. There are a lot of these locations sprouting up everywhere. I flew out west to visit my brother's family in May. And low and behold, there was a location on the first floor of the Salt Lake City airport. I was shocked. What is the appeal?
ReplyDeleteVery excited for this to open.
ReplyDeleteEver walk by the EV Shake Shack? The greasy stench is nauseating.
ReplyDeleteFinally a classic burger joint!
ReplyDeleteDisappointed to see Shack Shake replaced Schillers. We need retail diversity.
ReplyDeleteThis summer I visited my parents in Virginia and lo and behold 2 Shack Shakes had opened up in the area. I was shocked to see NYC prices. - Allie Ryan
Good when they first opened but now, so bad, so greasy, so very overpriced. Agree with the above comment about the greasy stench. Perfect metaphor for the neighborhood, from a McNally restaurant to a Shake Shack.
