Shake Shack, Murray Street, New York, NY

We planned a group visit to the 9/11 memorial. We planned to meet up with friends who work in the area for lunch and they recommended The Shake Shack. I am proud to no longer be a Shake Shack virgin. It was SO good and I don't eat burgers very often! I liked the concept, the artwork, and the menu. The milkshakes and the fries, especially the cheese fries, are awesome!

Dylan's Candy Store

 


















When you spend the day hoofing it all over Manhattan with your kids, its a good idea to have a reward in mind, especially if you starved them half to death having to double back from the park to find and ATM so you can actually purchase the street food you planned! Fortunately I had Dylan's Candy Bar on my mind for several months before the trip. I kept it a surprise for a LONG time and even fooled them by telling them I was looking for a vegetable market. Well that actually happened in Brooklyn, but I used the joke again because I could because really my kids get excited about vegetables. I digress.

Ice Cream was the perfect much needed reward after walking several miles along the city streets and park ways.
