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?

On a side note, is SS really that good of a place to eat?
For pure appeal to people who like to buy their lunch a few times a week, of which there are a number of persons in my office, I don’t see how you can knock this place. I don’t think there’s a lot of subtext about changing Fulton Mall here.
Fulton mall is going to be attracting new clientele/stores to grab the new Brooklyn Nets crowd that will be coming in hoards from all over.
What’s with the SS haters? Look, it’s a quality burger. No one’s saying you have to love it, but many folks do, and that’s because it’s tasty, NOT because we’re fools who are duped into _thinking_ SS is good because it is somehow trendy or has a long line.
If you don’t like it, just say so, don’t come on here disparaging folks who love SS.
Re: Five Guys, IMO Shack is much better, but that’s just one man’s opinion … I’m not going to characterize all Five Guys customers one way or another.
(And while we’re talking about SS, if the line @ Mad. Sq. is insufferably long and you still want a burger, cross Park Ave and go to the In ‘n Out knock off on 23rd street called Fast ‘N Fresh — or something like that — it actually has some pretty tasty burgers and often no line; much better than Five Guys IMO)
meant to say “camp out”
Hell, I’ll sleep out overnight if they have bacon cheeseburgers.
A Fulton Mall filled with nothing but chains like the Gap, Crate and Barrel, Container Store, B,B&B is not exactly my idea of shopping heaven, although I’ll be able to buy plastic storage containers and overpriced potato peelers in three different locations. Wheee. I don’t see where “all” Brooklynites are looking forward to this.
Agreed, NYGuy7. When I lived in BH, I was always shopping on Fulton St. When people say it wasn’t successful, they mean it didn’t have enough snob appeal. Change is going to happen and some of it is even for the better but the attitudes of some people who never set foot on the street, or wouldn’t dare walk into a *horrors!* Conway, are a turn off.
As for crafty’s comment- that was just another in a long line of elitist, nose in the air commentary he’s known for.
In re Fulton Mall, agreed that it has been a successful retail center for a long long time. I moved to Brooklyn as an adult (after living here for a few years in childhood) in 1994 and I remember then buying stuff for my new apartment on Fulton Mall.
