This post is short and sweet (see what I did there?) but I couldn’t resist sharing this!

This spot easily became my first priority on the bucket list because cheeseburgers, milkshakes, and beer are my favorite things in life. Black Tap has two locations in NYC: SoHo and Meatpacking District. I ventured to the Meatpacking area one fine Friday and upon arriving around 4, the line was no joke. We waited for about 45 minutes but it was totally worth it, and you’ll see why. If you plan to visit this spot go at an off-peak time (between lunch and dinner). You may also want to pack a Tall Boy (there is a liquor store located next door for your convenience). Black Tap are famous for their specialty milkshakes which include the Sweet N’ Salty, Cotton Candy, Cookie Shake, and Sour Power. The Sweet N’ Salty is a peanut butter shake adorned with pretzel rods, a chocolate covered pretzel, M&M’s, peanut butter cups, whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, topped off with a Sugar Daddy candy. The Cotton Candy is a strawberry shake decorated with pastel pearl chocolates, rock candy, a lollipop, whipped cream, and cotton candy of course. The Cookie Shake is vanilla cookie flavored topped with an ENTIRE chipwich, cookie crumbles, chocolate chips, whipped cream, and chocolate drizzle. The new menu item, the Sour Power, is a black cherry shake that comes with sour gummies, a pixy stick, rainbow pop, sour skewer, whipped cream, and nerds. I took the Sweet N’ Salty for a spin; it cost more than my actual meal. However, it was entirely worth it.

The shake itself was creamy and not overwhelmingly sweet, with the candy to compensate. The combination of the saltiness of the pretzels with the sweetness of the chocolate and peanut butter was perfection. These shakes are shareable, but for a max of 2 people. -Jess @fatboitendencies
