Shake Shack

Born from a Madison Square Park hot dog cart, this counter-serve chain brings its classic menu of burgers, chicken, frozen custard, beer, and wine into the rush of Penn Station. To keep up with travelers, the location relies on ordering on tablets to push out meals quickly. The result is a fast-paced environment where sides like crispy or loaded fries are often ready in just a few minutes, catering to commuters looking for a quick turnaround.
