so i decided, that it is my goal, to find the best of the best of everything that new york city (and life) has to offer. the never ending search of something more was what inspired me to start this blog. though i have not officially moved into the city yet, i have decided to go ahead and start the search for the best burger that NYC has to offer.
my search of course, started at the original shake shack in madison square park.

the order: a single shack burger with an order of their crinkle cut fries

i got my food and ate it in the park, on the grass, under the shade. though they had seating, something about setting up shop on a blanket in the park really added to it. there are multiple shake shack locations throughout the city, but there is something special about the one in madison square park.
the verdict: the line at times can be insane- luckily i went at around 230 so it had already calmed down quite a bit- it is worth the wait. though i didn't love the fries (i am partial to sweet potato fries and it was more than enough to split with another person), the burger was great. i love that they serve it on a potato bun. it is simple and made with fresh ingredients, made to order. maybe i shouldn't have started off with a famous burger on this hunt? or maybe it will make the search that much more of a challenge.
i was able to resist getting a shake or a concrete (frozen custard blended with toppings) at shake shack, but i was not able to turn down some italian ice from ralph's. oops. at least i walked a lot yesterday.
what is your favorite burger place in new york city?
