Shake Shack at Madison Square Park

Way back during the summer of '07, I was interning at St.Martin's Press in New York City. This publishing company is located in the fabulous and historic Flatiron building, located at 23rd street between Broadway and 5th Ave. From my desk I had a perfect view of Madison Square Park, right where a little place called Shake Shack exists. Burgers, fries, shakes, hot dogs, and ice cream is a basic list of the fare served here. Pretty much without fail there would be a long queue between 11:30 and 3pm. There is ALWAYS a line, because it is delicious even if a little overpriced.
Amanda was mourning having to work today, and somehow mentioned milkshakes. My eyes lit up and I went "We have enough time to go to Shake Shack!" which Mana had never been to, even though she didn't live far from it her freshman year. So we quickly got showered and out the door, and even though we waited in line the better part of an hour, it was SO worth it. She felt better and got food to eat before work. It helps that we got to breathe nice park air while watching adorable dogs and cute rambunctious babies.

This is me sipping on my vanilla milkshake. I got a bird dog, which is a chicken sausage. Mmm!

I miss that little park. And that part of town. That was a great summer in my life! Mental note: must visit more often, and must try a concrete at Shake Shack because I am curious about that custard confection.
