Vanilla Coke

[MissyM]

Does anyone know where I can find Vanilla Coke in the City? I have a niece visiting me for the summer and she is really craving some. I searched the board and tried the Rite Aid suggestion from 2007, but they don't have it. I've also tried 7-Eleven, Duane Reede, Food Emporium and some local grocers.

Thank you!!

For future reference, any diner will usually make you a vanilla coke. I usually order it with my takeout order. So good!

I just wanted to thank you guys! My niece loved both the Vanilla Coke at Lexington Candy Shop and the Egg Cream at Gem Spa. We also found bottled Vanilla Coke at Danny's (right next to the W hotel) on 47th St right off Broadway (toward 8th), in case anyone is looking for it!

Johnny Rockets makes it with vanilla syrup. I personally prefer cherry, but I think it will hit the spot.

Thanks! I didn't even think about the syrup route!

don't forget to try to push a vanilla egg cream on her -- she may like it too! if she's a teen get one at the gem spa on st. marks in particular.

Great idea! Thank you so much!

The Lexington Candy Shop makes coke the old fashioned way, and that includes Vanilla Coke:

I love this place - it's (too) expensive for what it is, and the food is decent but not great, but it has such a great nostalgia feel. I'm in there about once a week these days!

Thank you so much! That will be great :)

By the way - I just had lunch there, and wanted to mention that the fries are better than the onion rings, as I just learned. I usually have a burger or a BLT. They are quite big, so you could share if you liked.
