It's time for the Shake Shack's annual Shacktoberfest celebration, which starts Friday and runs through October 14th. If you can stand the lines, you can enjoy "special Shacktoberfest offerings" as well as the regular menu:
A selection of Usinger's brats and sausages – Andouille with red pepper relish, Stuttgarter Knackwurst with cranberry horseradish relish and Italian sausage with pumpkin mostarda.
A rotating list of Concretes in flavors such as Black Forest, German Chocolate, Apple Strudel and Sachertorte.
An expanded beverage menu showcasing German-style beers ($4 each) from artisanal American breweries (Brooklyn Brewery Oktoberfest, Otter Creek Oktoberfest, Weyerbacher AutumnFest, Smuttynose Pumpkin Ale and Victory Prima Pils).
And, to get you in the mood, they'll have an accordion player Friday from 1:00 – 2:30 and again from 5:30 – 7:30. Don't forget your lederhosen.
