Shake Shack Madison Square Park Closing for the Winter

This Columbus day will be the last day of operations for the Shake Shack in Maddison Square Park until next year. The ten-year old kiosk will be closed for renovations until reopening mid 2015 according to Danny Meyer’s restaurant group. Edwin Bragg, a Shake Shack rep has said that the renovations will take up to five months to complete. The last day of the Shack in the park will, however, go out with a bang!

The chain has been collaborating with big name chefs throughout the summer to create limited-edition hamburgers which have created long lines wrapped all around the park. This Monday, Italian Chef Massimo Bottura will also be leaving his mark on the Shake Shack burger. Bottura collaborated with Shake Shack’s culinary director Mark Rosati to create the “Emilia” burger. This burger will have Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese directly mixed into the LaFrieda-blend beef patty, and two round of pork-filled cotechino finished with a bright salsa verde and delicious balsamic mayonnaise on top for $8.95.

Make sure to enjoy the “Emilia” at Shake Shack on Columbus Day! To read more about the collaboration with Italian Chef Massimo Bottura, click here
