Prolific New York restaurateur Danny Meyer opened the first Shake Shack in Madison Square Park in 2004. Since then, he's opened six more Big Apple locations as well as outposts in Westport, Connecticut, Miami, and even two in the Middle East. Here's a look at his newest Shake Shack in DC's Dupont Circle at 1216 18th Street, Northwest, in a former Fuddrucker's space. It opens Tuesday.
