Thick Malted Milkshakes

Is there such a thing anymore?

You can get really delicious malted's at that hole in the wall on Ave A by Thompkin's Square Park: Ray's Candy Store-aka "Belgian Frites".
They're made with soft serve and are so so good.

I had one at Chinatown Ice Cream a few years ago. Very malt-y. Yum.

I actually just created an account for this. I had a great chocolate malted--very thick--at Island Burger and Shakes on 9th ave.

I wish I had asked for either more malt, or a vanilla one in order to taste the malt better, but the thickness and sweetness were perfect.

Thanks guys.
My scale awaits me!
But what a way to go!

Indeed there is -- the Lexington Candy Store. It's on the corner of 77th and Lex. You can't miss it; it looks like a place that has malteds.

I don't think Lexington Candy is particularly thick although I do think it may be the best malted in Manhattan. Island Burger mentioned below is closer to the concrete, cf. also Shake Shack. I prefer mine aerated. Best malted in the 5 boros may be Eddies Sweet Shop in Queens, a contemporary of Lex Candy Shop. For thicker also try Stand or BLT Burger or BRGR.

I think it's on the southwest corner of 83rd and Lex.
