Ah, the burger from Shake Shack. Many New Yorkers love this burger. Many rave it's the best in NYC. I disagree. I've had some decent burgers from the Shack in Madison Square Park, but waiting in line for a hamburger always makes me squeal, cringe, and run away. The last burger I had from the Shake Shack at the Madison Square Park location, was overcooked and unacceptable.

I stopped by the most recent Shake Shack that opened on 44th and 8th in the new Intercontinental Hotel, right down the block from Times Square, and ordered a double Shackburger ($7.25) and cheese fries ($3.75). The burger was really good, excellent, and tasty. The fries were not really good at all, they never have been. But, I am happy for all tourists and people who work and live in Midtown West that the Shack has opened. Because when they are hitting their stride, they make a fine ass buger.
