Sugar Rush: Toasted Marshmallow Milkshake from Stand

20090402-toastedmarshmallow.jpg

The first time I went to Stand two years ago, the burger experience was just okay, and worse was their thin pistachio milkshake, which contained shards of inedible pistachio shell (at least I knew it had real pistachios in it). I gave it a second chance just this week: The burgers tasted a bit better (although I wouldn't call it one of my favorites) and, on a brighter note, the toasted marshmallow milkshake was great. Much thicker, seemingly 100% larger than last time for the same price, no risk of inedible shell bits, and wasn't overly sweet. The glass was topped with a mass of gooey, lightly marshmallows and swirls of whipped cream. Now I know where to go if I'm ever in Union Square and crave an ice cream-y dessert.

I am craving this so unbelievably bad. Ever since Adam posted about it on AG.... sighhh.... can someone teleport me to Union Square?

@Allison: [ZAAAAP]

...that didn't work, did it? Crap.

(For those curious, AG's post.)

Sooo gooodddd.. do they still use il Laboratorio di Gelato for the shakes? *CRAVE*

Must. try. this. That big glob of toasty marshmallow on top looks magical.

I was actually more impressed with the burger than I expected to be. Stand is not a bad choice for the neighborhood.

My boyfriend loves this milkshake. He's said that would definitely be one of his last meals if he was on death row. I've never had a full one myself but the sips I've sneaked of his have been very tasty. The best is when you slurp out an actual piece of marshmallow.

I love this milkshake! I love Stand, the burgers are even better with Bleu Cheese sauce! So glad the word is spreading about Stand!
