Hey you forgot Cheese, its the obligatory ingredient..
I like the Shack, but personally it is Five Guys or In and Out for me
Poor McDonalds is taking a beating nowadays..
Yup McDonald's definitely has had a rough couple of years. Their pi** poor quality eventually got to them. I would only go to McD's if there is absolutely nothing else around. In some areas of the Bronx that is the case still unfortunately and even then I'd only get a salad and maybe a chicken sandwich. I occasionally still go to BK or Wendy's. But the premium places ie Shake Shack, Five Guys, etc are worth the few bucks more. I'd even go to some local "hood" place like Jimbo's over Mc'D's.
With all of the great cheap, healthy, authentic ethnic food that abounds in NYC why anyone would eat at Shake Shack is beyond me. I feel like my body has been poisoned when I'm on the road, starving and must subject myself myself to that garbage.
Not all ethnic food is healthy. At least Shake Shack uses grass fed meat. I wouldn't call it healthy but if your eating burgers and fries regularly and worried about your health then you need to learn about nutrition in general. And I mean that "you" in general not you specifically

Jimbo's...I used to go to the one on 126th and Amsterdam. I know they have expanded over the years. Do you remember Willie Burgers on 145th and 8th?
My favorite is the shack stack, which is one patty plus a fried Portobello mushroom stuffed with melted muenster and cheddar cheese. It's different from what you can get at other burger places and so delicious.
That's the only one to get
I had one of those at the Flatbush Ave location before a Nets game (nice new restaurant BTW) and thought it was the best $10 burger I've ever had.

True, burgers aren't health food. What I do often times is skip the fries and soda and save a few bucks and cut the intake down a little.
