Roommates, New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio publicly threw down on some Shake Shack in an effort to introduce the fast-food chain’s free food promotion for those who are vaccinated in the NYC area. According to reports, the new partnership between NYC (and announced by Bill De Blasio) and Shake Shack will offer residents who have been vaccinated at one of the local mobile clinics a voucher for free food.
In the video announcing the Shake Shack free food initiative, Mayor Bill De Blasio explained the details of how to obtain the freebies from the popular fast food chain:
“Free fries when you get vaccinated? I got vaccinated. You’re saying I could get these delicious fries? Wait a minute, that there’s also a burger element to this? I want you to look at this and think about — again, some people love hamburgers, some don’t, and we want to respect all ways of life — but if this is appealing to you, just think of this when you think of vaccinations. I’m getting a very good feeling about vaccinations right at this moment.”
New York City residents have the option to receive a voucher for a free burger or sandwich—or show proof of vaccination at one of the Shake Shack NYC locations to get free fries with the purchase of a burger or sandwich until June 12th.
This is the latest nationwide effort to inspire Americans to get vaccinated, as Ohio recently made headlines by offering up $1 million promotion to vaccinated residents.
