  • The Best Freakshakes: Sweets Treats on Steroids

    Why are you still here? Check out something else.

    Let me tell you about a place that was an absolute dream for me when I was younger. As someone who loved- who am I kidding I still love sweets, Black Tap was the quintessential place to get a fix for a sugar high. First off getting there. We went to the location in Soho. With daylight savings bringing about the dark ages as soon and 4:30 PM hits there’s a chance you might walk right past the store so keep your head up and eyes open. Walking in under the warm tone lights we initially got seated at tables but switched over to a booth and the tunes kept everything vivacious.

    Before we get into the freakshakes, I feel like I’m obligated to tell y’all that Black Tap does sell actual food. We ordered: The Texan Burger with bacon, aged cheddar, crispy onion ring, sweet baby rays BBQ sauce and mayo.
    The crispy chicken sandwich with buttermilk coleslaw, cilantro, a fresh lime, spicy mayo, and Korean BBQ sauce.
    The Mexico City Burger with pepper jack cheese, pickled jalapeños, crispy onion ring, and chipotle mayo. Our team was trying to be strategic, each ordering a different set of fries. One of us got plain, another cheese fries and finally Nashville hot fries. Apparently the cheese fries were the best so if you’re not lactose intolerance (or just one of the brave ones), we’d recommend spending the extra $4.50.

    Now Get a Drink

    FINALLY! The freakshakes. If you don’t know, a freakshake is a redonkulous milkshake that is also a snack. I got the Strawberry Shortcake Shake which is a strawberry milkshake with “vanilla frosted rim with crumbled cake topped with a strawberry shortcake ice cream bar, pink & white twisty pop, whipped cream, strawberry drizzle, crumbled cake & a cherry”. There’s something for everyone. Chocolate, vanilla, coffee, Oreo cookies & cream and many more. Why are you still reading, get yourself over to a Black Tap NEOW.

  • A 90s Diner in 2023: In The Heart of NYC

    Hey y’all! What if I tell you that there was a diner decorated with a 90s decoration in Times Square NYC, so cool, right!?? Well, let me tell you that I actually found one! I was looking for a place to take a bite the other day when I met with my bestie and boom, we found this diner. It was pure coincidence. The 90s diner doesn’t look all that on the outside but once you go in, it looks amazing. I found out that this diner opened its door to the public recently, about a year or so ago.

    How was my experience?

    The experience in the 90s diner was amazing! Food was wonderful, we both ordered burgers with fries and natural juices. The burgers and fries were on point when it comes to flavor. The natural juices, didn’t really feel that natural, however, they were still okay. The overall experience of going to the past and living this history, like a blast from the past was amazing. The waiters and cashier were amazing too, they were very attentive. That being said, if you ever find yourself close to 43rs St and Broadway, go and have a little some, some from this diner. You won’t regret it!

    Locations:

    211 W 43rd St, New York, NY 10036 (Times Square)

    200 W 57th St, New York, NY 10019 (Midtown)

  • Bill’s Bar and Burger: The Best Burgers In NYC

    A burger will always hit the spot, no matter where you go, but step into Bill’s, and it will undoubtedly etch a lasting memory in your heart. Despite my usual aversion to dairy milk, the milkshakes here are prompting a reevaluation of my life choices. The sliders, a delightful revelation, allowed for personalization with generous additions of ketchup and mustard, letting you tailor each bite to perfection. And, of course, being an onion ring enthusiast, I couldn’t resist trying Bill’s rendition.

    No regrets on that front; the Caesar salad served as a splendid palate cleanser, rejuvenating the taste buds after indulging in a variety of oily delights. Transitioning to the main course, the South of the Burger proved to be a messy yet delightful affair. For enthusiasts of guacamole and jalapeños, this burger is a must-try. The well-balanced addition of pepper jack cheese elevated the overall flavor profile, adding an extra kick to each bite. It’s crucial to highlight that the burgers at Bill’s are smash burgers, eliminating the need for the customary inquiry about preferred cooking styles. Remarkably juicy, each burger at Bill’s boasts a succulence that defines the essence of a perfect smash burger.

    In the realm of culinary experiences, Bill’s transcends the ordinary, turning a simple meal into a memorable journey. From customizable sliders to onion rings that cater to enthusiasts like myself, and the messy yet irresistible South of the Burger, every dish reflects the commitment to flavor and quality. So, whether you’re a burger aficionado or just seeking a culinary adventure, Bill’s is the place where every bite tells a story, leaving you with a savory memory that lingers long after the meal is over.
