Shake Shack Highlights New LaGuardia Airport Restaurants

Calling all New York-going explorers, tourists, and foodies—The time to take your journey into LaGuardia Airport is now with Thursday’s announcement of the December 1 opening of the first 11 gates located in the eastern concourse of the new state-of-the-art Terminal B in LaGuardia Airport. Menus by New York’s leading chefs and restaurateurs are a feature of the new area and global restaurateur HMSHost is opening Shake Shack, La Chula, and Osteria Fusco. These new dining options are part of a ten-year contract with LaGuardia Gateway Partners, the operator and developer of Terminal B.

“It is a joy to start the busy holiday travel season by providing an elevated dining experience for passengers in the new eastern concourse in Terminal B for the first time,” says HMSHost Vice President of Business Development, Anthony Alessi. “These local restaurant brands represent the best of New York and we thank LaGuardia Gateway Partners for this valuable opportunity.”

“We’re thrilled to partner with HMSHost to offer travelers an amazing selection of food and beverage options in the new Terminal B concourse that New Yorkers and all visitors will be proud of,” adds Ed Baklor, Chief Commercial Officer of LaGuardia Gateway Partners. “We listened to guest feedback, collaborated with our partners, and delivered a dining experience worthy of the greatest city in the world.”

The exclusive New York restaurants that HMSHost is featuring in Terminal B include:

Shake Shack is a critically acclaimed, modern-day “roadside” burger stand known for its 100% all-natural Angus beef burgers, chicken sandwiches and griddled flat-top dogs (no hormones or antibiotics – ever), fresh-made frozen custard, crispy crinkle-cut fries, craft beer, wine and more.

La Chula, an authentic Mexican taqueria from New York City chef Julian Medina, offers travelers traditional and freshly prepared tacos and margaritas in a trendy atmosphere. With popular locations in East Harlem and Grand Central, and now the airport, La Chula brings accessibility to five-star Mexican fare.

Osteria Fusco, led by highly regarded New York Chef Scott Conant, delivers elevated Italian cuisine, refined and inspired by Conant’s grandmother, who lived in Italy. Travelers can now enjoy house-made pastas and soulful dishes such as Pasta al Pomodoro, Rigatoni with Nonna’s Neopolitan meat ragu.

HMSHost operates restaurants in the New York metro area airports and travel centers, including operations at JFK International Airport, service plazas along the New York State Thruway, as well as Newark Liberty International Airport, the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Expressway.
