so cuomo *did* sign the taxi bill in the end
say hello to green cabs in brookyln
― iatee, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 03:25 (twelve years ago) link
niiice, i was just saying what a good idea that was
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 03:26 (twelve years ago) link
18,000 cabs so this is def gonna be 'a thing'. prob won't be hard at all to hail one if you live in brownstoney brooklyn or western queens, really anywhere near a major subway stop. outer borough cabs and a bikeshare program, old school new yorkers are gonna grumble but the city's making some pretty big strides in the next few years.

I knowed about that for a long time, b/c my school was right there. I missed it though. W/E it would have been bad news during finals stress.

so over shake shack, it's okay but c'mon
― iatee, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 03:49 (twelve years ago) link
yeah it's not worth standing in long lines for
― Hurting, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 03:50 (twelve years ago) link
no food is worth waiting in an hour line for but be serious shake shack is super dope
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 03:52 (twelve years ago) link
and hey since there are so many now you dont have to wait!
i'd rather wait for the shake shack than for lucali

i'm not gonna wait an hour and a half to pay $26 for a plain pizza
don't knife me bro
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 04:26 (twelve years ago) link
I mean even if you tend to eat half a pizza yourself it's $13 a person -- not really very much for a top notch food experience. It's also really not a "plain pie" the way you mean it, but w/e, be a philistine.
― Hurting, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 04:51 (twelve years ago) link
also the wait isn't as bad if you show up a little before they open

i have never waiting an hour in line for shake shack, its "overrated" i guess but dollar-for-dollar probably the best burg in nyc

they even have Shake Shack at Saratoga racetrack now. shortest Shake Shack line I have ever stood in, surprisingly

Shake Shack lines may be pretty quick at Citi Field next year
― Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 17:06 (twelve years ago) link
I would maybe be more impressed by shake shack if I weren't from california but that place really just seems like a pretty good generic burger place to me? except for the concretes, those are good.

luv californian burger culture but shake shack is next gen futuristic magic
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 17:09 (twelve years ago) link
btw went to the battery park city one and there was like a 2 min wait
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 17:10 (twelve years ago) link
I just don't get where the amazing magic part comes in. good quality patty tho the rest of the burger is only 'okay'. fries are not bad but nobody would go out of their way for those fries alone.

shake shack rules, by far the best burger in the city. i've never waited more than 10 minutes, i don't think, just have to be smart about when and to which you location you go.haven't been to lucali, but the place owned by the dude's brother, giuseppina's, was amazing and empty. especially liked the calzone.

can somebody explain to me what's so good about a shake shack burger

^^^ leaked tracklist for new Wolf Eyes record
it's small, greasy, and beefy, with a lovely soft bunxxp
― mizzell, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 17:38 (twelve years ago) link
for me at least it's this certain salty char they get on the burger. it hasn't had it every time I've gone but when they get it right it's the best.
― chjips ahoy (sandbox dmr), Wednesday, 21 December 2011 17:39 (twelve years ago) link
the flavor of the meat is amazing and the grease works its way perfectly into the rest of the set up
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 17:40 (twelve years ago) link
want one
sounds like they are using doctored meat
I will try one next time I am in NYC and I will hand down my pronouncement upon the shake shack
― nice catch cuauhtemoc blanco niño (dayo), Wednesday, 21 December 2011 17:41 (twelve years ago) link
this is where the shake shack meat comes from http://lafrieda.com

the meat's good for sure, the accompaniments are half-assed imo

no wai the bun is tits xp
I think I just prefer a firm bun? ya ya no pun intended. anyway I don't think it's bad just not transcendent. prob better than 5 guys but I go to 5 guys more cause I like eating peanuts while I wait.
― iatee, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 17:51 (twelve years ago) link
no bun intended

iatee how does shake shack compare to in-n-out
― nice catch cuauhtemoc blanco niño (dayo), Wednesday, 21 December 2011 17:54 (twelve years ago) link
omg 5guys isnt in the same league as shake shack, in n out is great but its sort of a diff thing, more of an irl really good fast food burger
