							                	This Lebanese/Mediterranean spot is even bigger than it looks and the menu is just as spacious. While it may be pricey, I recommend the Mezza Kbire Mezza Royale plate to share as it is worth the $155. FUN FACT: I worked here for a short period of time when I was in school. http://www.ililinyc.com/

							                	One of those things that you have to do just to say you did it. The shakes are quite delicious and you must get something with special sauce- I don't care if it's a burger or fries or what you just have to get it. That being said, call it what it is- fast food. https://www.shakeshack.com/
