(BTW 38th & 39th), New York, NY 10016
Black Shack is a small dark burger joint in
Manhattan, close to Grand Central Terminal, which combines upscale burgers with
gritty ambiance and ‘service’. It is an odd combination of old dive and new
hipster. It serves a variety of burgers, also available as tofu burgers (which
are famous), and chicken sandwiches as well as classic sides like chili, fries,
(basic) salads, onion rings.
I get the “Holy Mole”
Burger ($9.75): a small burger, a bit similar to Shake Shack, topped with fresh
guacamole, crispy onion strings, and fresh jalapeños. Very tasty! I also get
French Fries ($3) with Cajun seasoning (+$0.50) – thin crispy fries with salty
seasoning that get cold quick – and Onion Rings ($3), which are small and
crispy, but the batter has little taste. The Chipotle Mayo (+$0.50) works well
with it though.
VERDICT: 89/100
The Black Shack is a
good but expensive burger joint. Then again, it is Manhattan.
