The world famous Shake Shack in New York City. Home of hour-long lines, locally inspired frozen custard, and a really good burger. It’s not fancy, it’s not over the top, and it’s not outrageously priced. Whether you’re visiting or a NYC local, Shack Shack will satisfy your craving for a classic burger and side of fries.
Shake Shack burgers and hotdogs are cooked on a flat top, giving them a crisp, uniform sear on the outside, while staying juicy on the inside. Crinkle-cut fries are smothered in a rich cheese sauce that will have you literally licking your fingers. Worth the experience, worth the hype, and worth the hour-plus lines. Because even if my born-and-bred New York soul doesn’t want to admit it, it’s amazing, iconic, and a Madison Square Park original.
