I agree. It isn't worth the wait. Joe's Best in Flushing (or OG Bronx) is quite good and Donovan's pub (Woodside and Bayside) rule NY.

Listen to all you hater vegans! I tried SS because of Gothamists enthusiasm, and gotta say it's one of the better burgers in Manhattan. Certainly beats fast food. Really the best place in town is Big Nick's at 77th & Broadway. Fourteen page menu, surly waitresses, and outside dining. Delux at 113th & Broad has a pretty good burger as well.

Tien, the viral campaign was supposed to end in May. Why are you still doing this? We are not going to pay for additional weeks into June. Please advise. Danny

They should change the name to Fag Shack cause only homos eat at shake shack! They love the meat.

It's amazing that you are all so upset when they prefaced it by mentioning all the whiners from their last. They definately did it on purpose just to piss you babies off.

Stop giving the Shake Shack hand jobs lubricated with frenc fry grease! Lay off this overhyped shit and find something new to write about. It's good, but it's not that good. Not worth waiting an hour for, standing up and surrounded by self-important overambitious people who spend way too much on clothes and say insipid things on cell phones while you think about how hungry you are. It's overpriced too. There are a lot of other burger places (and food establishments) in this city. Stop obsessing over this one. Then again, what am I saying...Gothamist's M.O. is to obsess over stupid things that are way trendy and overhyped. There is nothing original or daring about Gothamist. If I didn't have 6 hours of down time a day at work, I would never go near the site.

I went on a very bad date at the Shake Shack, the first time I've been there, so it's been ruined for me. Tell me, should I brave the hour long line and horrible memories and give the Shack a second chance?

Well, I finally ate there today after all the mentions here. The line was short cause it was early. Damn good burger and fries, but by the time I left the line had about 70 people on it. Not that good.

I don't make it a point of using MSN maps regularly. In fact, I'd never used it before today, but a coworker was using it and remarking that the resolution was fairly high. I gave it a try, surprised it worked on a Mac, and then decided to look up some local pizza and burger landmarks.

Google's satellite image may show the Shack but the entire park is mostly obscured by trees. http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&lr=&q=11%20madison%20park%20%22new%20york%22&btnG=Search&sa=N&tab=wl

Everyone knows MSN maps suck. They were still showing the twin towers in 2003. Don't go there.

You know, the Shake Shack isn't all that great. First of all, it is in Madison Square Park or what I like to call it "Rat Park." There are so many rats in that park that they think they are squirrels. Secondly, the burgers are kind of shitty. Thin little patty, small bun. The burgers at White Castle are bigger than Shake Shack's. And waiting 45 minutes for a tiny burger that costs 6 bucks isn't worth it.
