Oh, Shake Shack coming to the neighborhood is all well and good for the Midtown office drones, the burger bloggers, the Shack fanatics, the Intercontinental Hotel guests, and the Theater-going tourists. But has anyone stopped for a minute to think of poor old Smith's Corner? Smith's, the oft-empty Theater District dive that apparently also has classic burgers that deserve a shot? We didn't think so.

P.S.: The most favorable review on Yelp for Smith's says, "Not as dirty as the previous review suggests, but it aint clean either." Lost City calls it "Very Bennigans."
