As part of Shake Shack’s mission to Stand For Something Good®, the Darien Shack will donate five percent of sales from the Pie Oh My concrete to support The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, a nonprofit dedicated to providing “a different kind of healing” to seriously ill children and their families, free of charge.
Guests can quench their thirst with a selection of local craft beer from Two Roads Brewing Company and Half Full Brewery, in addition to the Shack-exclusive ShackMeister Ale from Brooklyn Brewery. Wine lovers can sip on Pinot Grigio and Pinot Noir.
