[nyc] shake shack burger

the three of us went to new york last weekend. the first place we went to eat was shake shack near times square. we arrived around 12:30 on a saturday afternoon and the line up was very very looooooong. about 20min outside and another 15min inside, we were finally able to get our hands on these yummy burgers. it was very difficult to get a seat. we had to sit all crammed into a very tiny table.

when you order, you receive a little remote-like buzzer that shakes when you order is up. and the tables are stamped with an image of burger at the corner. cute. ours didn't shake though... one of the staffs came by and informed us that our order was ready.

we ordered three shack bugers ($4.50/ea) and two fries ($2.65/ea). look at those fries!!! i love crinkle cut fries. they were seasoned with just the right amount of salt too. the burger was made up of melt-in-your-mouth buns, juicy and thick patty, melted cheese, fresh lettuce and crisp tomato. a perfect ensemble. maybe my judgment is bit biased, since i was starving to death... but this tasted ten times (even more) better that a big mac. they also have excellent selection of milkshakes which i regret now trying one :(

we were satisfied. ros finished her burger in 3 minutes. wow. i wish toronto has shake shack. i'm really gonna miss it. no. i already miss it.
