You'll recall how outraged we were last week when Jimmy Fallon handed out Shamrock Shakes to his entire studio audience, thereby depleting NYC's already imperiled supply of the minty frozen dessert beverage. Well, the thing is, now that McDonald's has delivered a big shipment of Shamrock Shakes to Gothamist HQ, we suddenly regret deriding Fallon as a privileged Hollywood insider who used his connections to 'rock-block average New Yorkers. Sometimes life isn't fair, which is fine as long as it's fair in our favor. Mmmm, entitlemint .
But don't worry if you lack the star power of a talk show host or a blogger, McDonald's is still selling Shamrock Shakes to the masses at their location at 1560 Broadway! We're told they'll probably run out today, so hustle. This is the first time the St. Patrick's Day-themed shake has appeared in NYC in years, and there's no guarantee we'll see it ever again in this region, DRAMA BUTTON!
