Shake Shack

Chris wanted to go to Shake Shack so after shopping at Century 21, we headed to the one at Madison Square Park. There was a slow-moving line of about 100 people when we got there, but chocolate malt shakes, burgers and sweet corn frozen custard were worthwhile. Chris rested while I waited in line. Afterward, saw fireflies (identifiable by the neon green light squiggly line in photo) lighting up the grass—they're smaller than the ones we saw in Connecticut—and admired Jaume Plensa's 44-foot "Echo" statue. On the walk back to our hotel, spotted the strange ornamental lighting outside the Gershwin Hotel.
