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.
Satiate Your Hunger First
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.
