I see Shake Shack is expanding to the upper east side and on seventh in the 40’s somewhere.
It kind of reminds me of how Nathan’s Coney Island was cool, but a Nathan’s all over the place in the late 70’s ruined it.
What does this have to do with the Mets?
Just curious to see what happens when a Shakeburger isn’t so rare. Do you bother spending $15 on a burger and shake (whatever the number is, I don’t have their menu memorized) or do you go spend $10 at (ironically) Nathan’s.
I don’t know the business of concessions. Do the Mets get a cut of each shake? Is it a rental deal for the real estate? Anyway, I wonder what happens if people spend either differently or less.
For $7 dollars a milkshake, something tells me the Mets get something out of it.
$19 for a single Shackburger, fries and a Shackmeister Ale (I know, because that’s what I got last night).
The best-ever Nathan’s was the second one they opened, on Long Beach Road in Oceanside, Long Island. It had an adjacent amusement park with a Coney Island-style midway. The park closed in the mid-70s but I think the restaurant is still there.
That was a GREAT nathans!!!!
Here’s a bit of history on that Nathan’s location: http://www.1960sailors.net/09a_Nathan's.htm

For your horse racing fans out there they have a Shake Shack at the Saratoga Race Course this year too.
Last night: 2 single burgers, 1 fries, 2 shakes and 1 bottle of water for $36. Sadly enough it seems reasonable.
