What's your favorite Shake Shack menu item?
Can you believe that I had been living in New York for more than one year before having my first ShackBurger? I had been to Shake Shack on multiple occasions, but usually just opted for fries and a custard shake.

They will give you the option of "for here" or "to-go" and I recommend saying "to-go" even if you plan on eating in. They'll give you your food in a carry-out bag and box combo and then, if you fail to get chairs, you can bring your meal to have a cute little picnic in the park.
They'll give you a buzzer and you generally have to wait around 5 minutes for your order to be ready.
This location also has different French fries ($2.85), which I enjoy. Some people were upset about it, so just a warning about that. Unlike the other locations that serve the crinkle fries, this one serves straight, thinner fries. I did see the crinkle fries when people ordered cheese fries, but since I am semi-lactose sensitive and don't like crinkle fries or thick fries, I have never ordered those.
So, the ShackBurger ($4.75) was great for my first ShakeShack burger. It met my high expectations. (Seriously, my friends around the world rave about this burger...) It was not dry, as I had feared because that happens a lot at burger places, and the lettuce was still crisp and tomatoes were fresh, so I knew the burger was made-to-order. The bun was also not dry and seemed relatively fresh.
Last week, my friend came to NYC. She has been to New York on multiple occasions, but had never tried ShakeShack before. Since we went to Rita's for the free Italian ice on the first day of spring and were in the area, we made a dinner stop at Shake Shack near the Museum.

Concretes: (Single $4.75)
A great thing about Shake Shack is that each location has a unique set of Concretes. These are kind of like shakes, but have more components mixed into them, making them a thicker than shakes.
Sorry, no picture for the shakes, but they kinda just look like a cup.
These are way too big for me to finish by myself, so consider sharing or else be prepared to either waste it or eat it as a leftover...or have a tummyache.
At the UWS / Museum location - I had the "Upper West Side" concrete. This is vanilla custard with strawberry, banana, and cheesecake.
At the Madison Square Park location - I have tried the "Hopscotch" concrete - vanilla custard, caramel, toffee, and dark chocolate.
At the Times Square location - I have tried the "Great White Way" concrete - vanilla custard, marshmallow, and chocolate crispies. Also, if you purchase this one, some of the proceeds go to Broadway Cares.
