The Shake Shack

Spring has come, which means the doors of the Shake Shack are open. This Danny Meyer joint in the middle of Madison Square Park, is well worth the wait. But definitely check out the live shake cam by clicking here The lines can be in excess of 100 people and 45 minutes during a nice day in the summer, but you will not be disappointed. The burger has to rank a top anyone's NYC burger list. I recommend the Double Shack Burger, Fries and a Milkshake to both fill your appetite and clog your arteries. For the ambitious people and ravenous eaters, I would drop the milkshake and add a 2nd Burger. The Burger is tiny, probably 3.5 oz, but is a perfect consistency. With lettuce, tomato, cheese and the shack sauce, I truly savor each taste. The bun has a potato roll like taste, and does a superb job of keeping the greasy style burger inside the bun, not making a mess all over your hands. The bun is outstanding and brings the burger to another level. The fries are just how I like them, nice and crunchy. It's a good thing my office isn't closer to 21st and Madison, or I would be at the Shake Shack 2-3x a week. I give the Shake Shack 4.5 out of 5 Burgers.
