Rejoice and unite oenophiles and burger aficionados. According to Eater’s walkthrough and photo tour of the new Shake Shack UWS, a wine list is in the offing…and after a quick once over of the wine board, the prices are unbelievable! Some of the wines are even priced just at or even a bit below retail. Is this too good to be true? Lets hope not. This is exactly the type of news budget-minded New Yorkers have been waiting for. It’s no secret that people have had enough of the outrageous wine pricing at NYC restaurants. That we should be made to pay a 150-200% mark-up for the so-called privilege of getting to drink a bottle of wine in a restaurant is absurd. Will this mark the beginning of a new era? A breakdown of the amazing wine prices after the jump…
