Shake Shack (Madison Sq Park)

This place is the truth. It's everything a burger shack should be. They have delicious burgers, shakes, hot dogs, and a few other goodies too. The only downside to this place is the insane line you have to stand in to get your feed on. We went on an overcast day when it had rained for a few minutes then stopped. The line was tiny and it took us 20 minutes to get up to the counter. We tried to go to Shake Shack another time (before bailing and resorting to the ill fated Molly's) and the line was easily 3 times as long.

The burger is very simple. It has cheese and a bun. The bun is nothing special. The cheese is standard american cheese. But the burger! My god it's a tasty goddamn piece of meat. The fries are crinkle-cut and maybe double fried. They are crispy and delicious and salted perfectly.

Shiva is a crazy bastard and ordered a cheeseburger, hot dog, cheese fries, vanilla concrete (insane milkshake) and a beer. He looked uncomfortable but also very happy after his experience; almost like he climbed the highest mountain in all the land (or some other momentous victory).

Go to shake shack but be prepared for the wait. Rest assured it's worth it. 90/100
