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.)
