The closest to me isn't 24 hours yet. I remember going there last week at 0705 and seeing a sign on the drive-thru board that they were opening at 0700 instead of 0600 for some reason or another. |

I dunno, I guess I'm gonna have to try out that one. The great thing about PA is in the fall you can't go two feet w/o finding some banging apple or pumpkin pies in the fall. The ShopRites down here sell big one's for like $4. |

Yeah, same up here. The apples and pumpkins that look good go to the stores as is. The ones with missing bits or "corrosion" get ground up and tossed into pies. The really corroded ones become cider. Wonder what they do with bad pumpkins since I've never had pumpkin cider? :) |

Unfortunately, I'm diabetic plus I'm on a diet, so I'm refraining from partaking...my guilty pleasure, if I do cheat, is a Tim Hortons maple dip donut...but I am happy to say that if I really wanted a Shamrock Shake, I'm only about 12 miles from the nearest McDonald's (New Hope, Pa.) that sells it. The one here in Flemington considers itself part of the "NYC" area, I guess. |

It's banned in the NY television market according to McDonald's. Obviously, Flemington is in the NY market, so McDonald's is lying.They don't sell Shamrock and Eggnog shakes in places that will offend people. NYC is one place where people will freak out over something like this, and want a shake for every ethnic group and religion. |

SEPTA doesn't go east of Warminster to New Hope either. Would be a good peak hour service, but the RDCs are long gone, as well as (FWIH) the Railworks connection to 30th Street's lower level . . .(Across the river, we don't even have the BR&W going to Lambertville anymore either.) |

I don't really take medicine - even cold medicine and aspirin - so I'm going off memory. Plus it was a year ago. But from what I recall it had a chemical/artificial taste to it. And an aftertaste. It could be that I had a bad shake and had too much mix or something in it, but I really thought that it was disgusting. I have a sweet tooth and still couldn't finish it. |

Mary Steidl Director of Operations Field Service New York Region McDonald's USA, LLC 973-287-1478 This was what McDonald's told me back in 2008. I responded by asking why television matters, if there is no Shamrock Shake tv spot to begin with, and why individual stores can't simply sell it. I asked how they would know whether or not the city consumer would buy it, if it was never sold in NYC since it's comeback. No response of course. |

Keep in mind, the same thing happened last year. People say that they saw it or had one in NYC, and say, "Upper West Side, NYC" without a street location. That usually means it's bullshit.But I would not be surprised if the local owners finally give in. The Gothamist and other NYC blogs had some negative stories about McDonald's not selling it, and called McDonald's and got quotes from execs. |
