Is Shake Shack worth the wait?

Three delicious Shake Shack burgers

My friends and I ventured out to Madison Square Park on Sunday in anticipation for some good Southern BBQ. To our disappointment, we arrived too late and many of the participating vendors were out of food. Lynne was able to get some chorizo and brisket for a mere $7. As I saw people carrying the little trays of food, I realized that I would probably not be full with the small portions. I decided to wait on the Shake Shack line, which was surprisingly short for a nice day. I figured that due to the Big Apple BBQ, Shake Shack was not receiving the usual attention it does. In about 15 minutes, I made it up to the counter. I decided since this is probably the only time I’d get to go without waiting over an hour for burgers, I’d go all out and get the Shake Shack burger with fries. the food was done shortly and soon my friends and I were dining like queens. The burger was excellent. It reminded me of my favorite burger place, In-N-Out. The burgers were reasonably sized. Not huge like Jackson Hole’s burgers and not quite as small as White Castle’s mini burgers. It was the perfect size! Their sauce was also excellent. I recently finally made it to the famous secretive Burger Joint and I was not a big fan of their thin fries. Shake Shack fries were much more tastier.

I’m not the die hard burger fan, so I don’t know if I’d be willing to wait more than 20 minutes for a Shake Shack burger. I would consider going there when it’s raining though! What a perfect day to have a burger.

I changed my theme again. Any thoughts about this? I like the live search function. Check out my archives page. It’s kind of cool don’t you think? I’m still working out the kinks with this theme, so don’t be surprised if something doesn’t work. )

Good night!

I’m here!!

I am all moved into my new apartment. Thanks to my dad and his Taiwanese moving buddy. It was slow at first when we were moving out of my cave apartment. Once we arrived at the new apartment, there were no spaces for us to park. My dad decided that we would help these other people move in so we could get their spot after. Luckily, our mover found a spot. We finished unloading in like one hour. An elevator makes everything so easy!

There are some minor problems with the apartment. Hopefully, we will get it fixed soon because the super is very very attentive. He’s just really busy because a lot of people are moving in and out of the building in the last couple of weeks. I’m surprised he had my wall up in time. Today I came home with a door knob for my room! Great!

My boss informed me I will be getting my raise tomorrow. It will be retroactive May 1st, so tomorrow’s paycheck is going to be hefty! I can’t wait to see it. I confirmed with my friend who issues the checks (she’s in accounting) and she said that my pay increase has been put in. I will have to ask her how much my entire “raise” is since it doesn’t look so much on each pay check.

Woohoo! To top it off, I’ve been trying to sell my A/C on Craigslist.org since May 12. Since it was still cold then, no one was replying. I had to actually repost a few days ago and then suddenly the e-mails came rolling. It’s mainly because last weekend was HOT. People finally realize they need an A/C. Finally after 10 e-mails, a guy actually shows up to see the A/C. He was very nice and ended up taking it for $100. He agreed that Sharp A/Cs are great. So, now I just need to sell my closet. Anyone need one? I’m selling it for $80 and it’s great!

Good night )
