I've finally made it to Black Tap! I've waited for hours outside the Black Tap locations in NYC numerous times, and never actually made it inside. Imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon Black Tap inside The Venetian with no line at all! I was stuffed from my breakfast at Milk Bar, but I couldn't give up this chance for a milkshake!
I have one word: overrated. Also: disappointed.
Not worth the hype!
I ordered the Brooklyn Blackout milkshake with the cake batter milkshake Base. First of all, these milkshakes are much smaller than they look on Yelp or Instagram - they are the size of a standard milkshake, but heavy on top. Secondly, the brownies on the shake tasted like grocery store brownies. And my cake batter Base just tasted like vanilla milk.
Glad I finally got to try Black Tap, but won't be making plans to come back.
