Know what makes burgers taste better? Dead people.
Jesus fucking Christ. We’d start every post like that if everyone in the world were as stupid as the loud-mouthed citizens of Prince Street who caused turmoil at Tuesday night’s State Liquor Authority meeting discussing a license application for the forthcoming Shake Shack on Prince and Mulberry.
Locals decried the mess that a liquor license for the establishment would create — falsely envisioning some sort of all night disco party of thugs and and frat boys that would take over the former parking garage. But then, as it turns out, these people just seem to be against any change in use of the facility.
As Eater reported, someone actually cried out: “People will be eating burgers and looking over a cemetery – that’s sacrilegious!”
Again, dear reader, whether you eat meat or not, we are sure you will agree with this sentiment. Jesus fucking H. Christ.
In the end, Shake Shake has withdrawn its application. So it is a dark (and snowy) day in Gotham. When they visit Danny Meyer’s new NoLita palce, burger lovers will be denied that one most glorious accoutrement to Pat LaFrieda’s blend: a beer.
But hey, we are consoled by one thought that warms our cold little butcher heart on this freezing day. The residents of the surrounding buildings have something coming to them. We all know what happens to people who live on top of a cemetery.
