Description
This is your uber classic American Burger Bar. Inexpensive, generous portions, good basic food.
The original New York Shake Shack started as a hotdog stand run by Danny Meyer in Madisson Square Park to raise money for an art gallery exhibition. After three years it became a real resteraunt and now has seven locations in New York.
This one in west Manhattan is across the street from American Museum of Natural History. Continuing the tradition of social awareness that started the chain, this branch donates 5% of its earning to an early childhood education foundation.
Well worth a visit if you are at the museum, but be warned, you can be standing in line easily for 1/2 hour or more. And seating is nearly impossible.
Postwork in Photomatrix pro 4.2.1 and Topaz DeNoise.

A wonderful bit of history and photography, Roxy! Lovely work.
Your work is fantastic!
I thought that looked familiar...It was a few years ago, but I think we ate there the last time I was at the NHM... WONDERFUL!!! Really captures the bustle of NY...
Gorgeous shot!
Great street scene. Well done.
Well, you know what they say.... Long lines = great food! Ah, yes... Good basic food... Burgers! Yeah! :-D This is a delightful, colorful photo full of the hustle and bustle of city life. And your postwork makes it even more fun - like something out of a delicious dream! Love your photo tours, Roxy!
Great scene.I love the colours!
it's good to see a business thrive - especially when one has been unemployed 4 months and not even a call back.... Burgers are my favorite.
Class street scene and super edit!!
Owners sure are doing something right!! What is a concrete float?
Your postwork is bar none on this, really makes one take it all in.
Gorgeous and lively capture! Love the vivid colors, great post-work!!!
Love the bright, impressionistic postwork, which actually has more of a California sunshine feel to me. I'm also wondering what "concretes" are?
Love it!
Nice shot, i love burger ;-)
Brilliant
Awesome job Roxy!!

Wonderfully postworked candid capture!!
Beautiful work :O-)
This is one of those monumentally eye-grabbing people shots that I simply can't avoid! I guess it's because this is one of those monumentally eye-grabbing shots that I don't want to avoid! I love this! I saw it earlier, but couldn't comment as I wanted to and so I'm here now, commenting. The activity is perfectly captured and I love the stillness: it's a perfect capture of a moment that won't exist again. That's what I like about photography: the ability to capture things that will definitely change. These people may visit the Shake Shack regularly, but they won't all ever visit together again, on a day with exactly that sunlight, as they're wearing exactly those clothes, and as the exact same traffic, cloud patterns, etc. occur. I tend to think along those lines whenever seeing a photo, and one as nice as this one just draws me in completely. The colors are vivid and alive: hyper-real and beautifully saturated, but they don't become searing or overpowering. You keep a wonderful balance. This is really excellent work.
Great capture with fine postwork!! :o)
