No Luck of the Irish in New York

March 17, 2008

Continuing our ongoing coverage of all things Shamrock Shake, loyal Franklin Avenue reader Keith reports from the East Coast that L.A. has N.Y. beat on another important front:

Another reason for you to heart your beloved LA. NY McDonald’s don’t offer the SHAMROCK SHAKE.

Blimey! You’ve got several more hours, Angelenos, to enjoy one on St. Paddy’s Day.

Me? I tried a Guinness milkshake at 25 Degrees in the Roosevelt Hotel. Yum.

Return of the Shamrock Shake

February 26, 2008

After a year hiatus, the Shamrock Shake is back at area McDonald’s. This minty delight is enough to send me to the fast food giant, which I generally avoid (other than occasional breakfasts there when Blogger Toddler catches me in a good mood). I lived for Shamrock Shakes — available for a limited time at participating McDonald’s, the disclaimer goes — as a kid, but they disappeared for most of the 1990s, as far as I can tell (well, that, and I avoided McDonald’s for most of the 1990s, so who knows).

But other than last year’s strange disappearance, the Shamrock Shake has been back in local McDonald’s for most of the decade. Go get it now; it pretty much disappears after St. Patrick’s Day.
