- Shake Shack
-
Location: Union Square/Flatiron
Why would reasonably sane, otherwise savvy New Yorkers stand in line for upwards of 45 minutes just for fast food? If it were anywhere other than the Shake Shack, I would say there's crack in the burgers.

If you saw her on the street, you’d think she looks vaguely familiar – probably from a small part on a TV show or her many national commercials. She hasn’t caught her big break yet, but stay tuned. As an actress on a budget, she learned to do more with less. One time a celebrity friend went on a shopping spree and spent $2,000 on shoes and handbags. As a bet, she spent a weekend scouring Woodbury Commons and Overstock.com and got exactly the same stuff for $850 (she also won the bet). She'll race around the city trying different places or products just to find the one that is best. She's even willing to make a fool of herself in the process. One summer she was determined to find the best spray-tan, and ended up sporting stripes that would make a zebra jealous. But in the end, she found the best - and turns out it was one of the least expensive.
