New York City’s dessert scene got a serious upgrade when OREO THINS teamed up with Black Tap for an exclusive After Dark party celebrating the launch of its new limited-edition Espresso Creme flavor.
On Wednesday, October 28, Black Tap’s private lounge inside The Kixby Hotel transformed into a dessert lover’s dream, complete with extravagant milkshakes, CrazySundaes, espresso-inspired mocktails, and plenty of sweet surprises.
Guests were treated to an immersive OREO THINS experience featuring an Espresso Creme cookie cart, a dedicated dessert bar, and an espresso martini mocktail station. Signature Black Tap appetizers rounded out the menu, offering savory bites between the sweet indulgences.
One of the night’s biggest highlights was the debut of the OREO THINS Espresso Creme Limited Edition Classic Shake, made with vanilla ice cream, Espresso Creme OREO THINS cookies, and espresso chocolate sauce. The creamy, coffee-inspired creation brought together everything dessert fans love about OREO and Black Tap’s signature over-the-top shake experience.
The evening also attracted a star-studded crowd, including Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Rhode Island personalities Ashley Iaconetti, Jo-Ellen Tiberi and Rosie Woods DiMare, who kept the energy going with a special guest DJ set alongside husband Rich DiMare.
Other familiar faces included Summer House stars Stephen McGee and Jason Cameron, along with Evan Real, Danny Murphy, The Bell Twins, Topher Griffin, and Ani Bollock.
Black Tap owner Christopher Barish and partner Richie Romero joined the festivities as guests mingled, sampled the specialty desserts, and celebrated the newest OREO THINS release.
Want to try the shake for yourself? Black Tap’s Midtown flagship is offering the limited-edition Espresso Creme Classic Shake for one week following the celebration, while supplies last.
With the new Espresso Creme cookies available exclusively online for a limited time, this sweet collaboration gives NYC foodies a chance to experience the flavor in true Black Tap fashion.
