Summer, it's real nice. I stayed in the same block as the Shake Shake near the university this past June. I agree, I don't get the appeal. The burgers were pretty small.
I don't think it got out of the teens while we were there and it snowed -not heavily by Chicago standards but maybe 1 or 2 inches each day we were there. That said, we walked everywhere - with a hat, gloves and a good coat it wasn't horrible.
