Ask Midtown Lunch: Shamrock Shakes
Got this question emailed to me by “Esther” the other day:
“I really want to have a Shamrock Shake at McDonald’s….so last night, I walked into the McDonald’s on 52nd and Broadway to get one. (They have them every year in the month of March until St. Patrick’s Day for as long as I can remember.) The girl at the register looked at me like I was insane!! She had never even heard of it. I’m so disappointed!!! Maybe someone in the midtown lunch community knows of a location in NYC??”
Anybody seen one of these things in a McDonalds in Midtown? If you have, help Esther out by posting the location as a comment below. If you are like me, and didn’t even know this Shamrock Shake existed, there’s a great piece about them here.

Alas, there will be no shamrock shake for Midtown this year. From today’s News:

I know is that the Shrek shake turned my… green. Not pleasant. Xp
Gothamist had a hunt for those shakes last year. Looks like no dice for most of the commentors checking out their local mcdonald’s… but some offer suggestions of places that approximate the shamrock shake. Then again, this was a year ago, so some places may have them this year:
