Brooklyn burger lovers rejoice: Shake Shack has finally decided to shack up in our borough. The Daily News reported yesterday the popular burger and shake joint will be in the Fulton Mall next year. While it would have been cool to see them in the old Gage and Tollner spot, the restaurant will be moving into Tony’s Famous Pizza at the corner of Fulton and Adams, right outside of the Jay Street subway. Seems like a fail-proof location to us. Shake Shack is just the latest of new arrivals to the Fulton Mall; Filene’s, SYMS, H&M and Aeropostal are also on the roster. Think Fulton Mall could be Brooklyn’s next destination spot?

For those who are ragging on Fulton Mall – isn’t it the highest grossing psf shopping area in all of Brooklyn??
Just because a large portion of the shoppers are not white doesn’t make it less worthy. Sad that so many people seem to be suggesting such.
Shake Shack is an excellent (and incredibly delicious) burger and it will be a huge draw for downtown workers and shoppers alike.
The prestige that a place like Shake Shake brings will be a spiraling affect of change for the entire mall. I think shoppers in this area will relish some of these new stores because yes…white people are not the only folks who enjoy a good burger at a reasonable price or some nice clothing. There is room at Fulton Mall for a more diverse set of retail and dining options.
Brooklyn has an extremely vibrant and successful black community of which Fulton Mall is one of their destinations for shopping. If you want to poo poo it, that only shows your own closed mindedness. It certainly doesn’t have an affect on that is one of the most lucrative shopping districts in the entire borough of 2.5. million residents.
Shake Shack has very good burgers and an excellent business model. The burgers aren’t FANTASTIC, but they are very tasty indeed, as are their fries. I hear happy things about the eponymous milk shake as well. I look forward to Shake Shack’s arrival on Fulton Mall.
I live in Boerum Hill and am a certified Yuppie [TM]. I shop at Fulton Mall and really do not get all the hate for it. Not all worthy human beings make more than the median income, nor do they necessarily live in the brownstone belt.
Is a long line part of their business model? I will not go if so.
I agree with DIBS re: waiting. Long lines are what keep me away from Mile End Delicatessen on Hoyt, despite loving the Montreal-style smoked meat and poutine there.
I would say Danny Meyer himself revitalized Madison Square Park – not just Shake Shack. He’s invested a lot in that area (with his other restaurants, Eleven Madison Park, Tabla, Gramm Tav etc)
I don’t wait in a long line for ANYTHING. I see long lines at that place on Hoyt just south of Atlantic on Sat/Sun. I’ve seen people wait in a line to get into a bar. It’s all absolutely ridiculous. I won’t even go to most restaurants that don’t take reservations.
While it may be arguable as to how good the burgers really are, my friend has attested that Shake Shack’s custard shakes and fried onions on the burgers are super yummy. So I’m looking forward to trying that.
Stonergut, any word on the H&M opening?

“Shake Shack completely revitalized the previously sketchy Madison Square Park. Since its opening, the Flatiron area has become a real foodie mecca.”
You’re kidding right? tabla, eleven mad, gramercy tavern, patria and countless others were all there before shake shack. madison park has not been sketchy since the 80s.
It’s a hamburger joint, not moses tablets.
