Though the Munich original is well into its annual run, Oktoberfest celebrations are only now popping up stateside. One such event will be held at everyone's favorite long-lined burger joint, the Shake Shack, which is hosting its second annual Shacktoberfest starting next Friday.
To celebrate the Bavarian holiday, the Shack is adding daily brat and sausage specials to its menu, along with specialty concretes and a selection of German-style beer from American breweries. To get the party started, there will be live entertainment on October 5th between 1–2:30 PM and 5:30–7 PM. The extras on the menu will stick around until the 14th. Still worried about the unending line? Don't forget you can always check the
