About this location
This Shake Shack opens at 5 a.m., the same start as Tech on the Go next to it at Gate B22, and both close at 10 p.m., three hours before Mi Casa shuts at 1 a.m. on the same gate run. XWELL, also at B22, sells cosmetics and doesn't open until 8 a.m., three hours after this counter starts. JFK carries three Shake Shack locations in total; this is the one anchoring the B22 cluster rather than the retail hall or Gate B26 further along the terminal. Burgers, chicken and coffee cover a window that runs from the first departure bank into early evening.
One of 2 Shake Shack locations at John F. Kennedy International Airport (Terminal 4, Terminal 5), and the earliest of them to open.
