7. Shake Shack
The popular fast food burger chain has come a long way since it origins as a hot dog cart in Madison Square Park. Even after spreading across the country, it’s still a New York favorite and great for a quick and easy bite without a big price tag.
Order: The Shack burger. Pair that with the frozen custard, a thick and creamy ice cream. Check the menu for featured flavors — they change throughout the month, but include fun treats like jelly donut, s'mores, miso caramel, and red velvet.
Address: 691 8th Ave. (at 44th St.)
