In Short
Restaurateur Danny Meyer fashioned this al fresco burger joint as a retro urban retreat. He never intended it to become a cult, with two hour lines most days. Resting beneath a leafy canopy of trees, the shiny shack's pick-up window, smiling service and "soda pop" marquee recall 1950s chic. New Yorkers of all sorts fill the spread of green fold-up tables--and spill to nearby benches. Why wait? The Shack has perfected the art of the hamburger to a near unsurpassable point: from the custom Pat La Frieda mix to the cooking program, which involves a paint scraper, to perfectly buttered buns and fresh, ripe tomatoes year-round, this is the burger standard in New York. And the frozen custard? Forget about it!
