NEW Yorkers can now get a side of free fries when they show their vaccination cards at Shake Shack.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced the crispy decision during his Thursday press briefing while awkwardly downing a Shake Shack burger and fries for breakfast.
“I want you to look at these French fries and think about how great it is to get vaccinated,” the mayor joked.
“Is it too early in the day to eat a burger?” he teased again, before adding “Mmmm… vaccination.”
Shake Shack CEO Randy Garuitti said anyone who gets vaccinated a mobile clinic within the city will get a voucher for a free burger or sandwich.
“Get your vax, get your Shack,” Garuitti joked.
“[It’s] free fries on us to say thank you.”
The city has been trying a number of initiatives to increase the percentage of New Yorkers who are vaccinated.
So far, the city’s perks include anything from Chelsea Market gift cards to tickets to watch the Brooklyn Cyclones play ball.
“I’m getting a very good feeling about vaccinations right at this moment,” de Blasio said. “I’ve gotta finish chewing for a moment.”
De Blasio also joked he’s going to a music festival that was cancelled last year.
“Maybe I have to, like, join one of the bands of the Governor’s Ball [and] debut my musical stylings,” he said.
