Tastykake in New York?

I just saw a limited edition or special edition or whatever they call it, individual serving Tastykake Cheesecake Pie, at my local Quick Chek. MMMM...thought about it, but decided against it.

I am getting a cold, so no reason to eat anything that tastes very good right now, and has almost 30 grams of fat, per serving. I will wait.

On a recent Utz factory tour and visit to their outlet store:

I found they have a mail order catalog and also sell via the net:
http://www.utzsnacks.com/store/

The products in the factory store were fresh and had really-long expiration dates. Locally, the 4 ounce bags of chips are sold at Dollar Tree and at 99 cent stores so you pay a premium for shipping, but its a treat!

Dearfolk,
Last night, I bought a box of Tastykake cupcakes with crumbly things on top and creme filling. I tasted them and they were SUPERB!... Not too sweet, like Little Debbies always seem to be.
The folks at Allen's Hamburgers were ecstatic as well... a universal "thumbs up."
I would trust anything that bears their label, and am awfully glad to have them here in Amazing Athens, Georgia.

Hey Optimus,

I'm from Baltimore but live in Long Beach, CA. You can find limited Tasty Kakes at "Philly Grille" or "Philly's Best" sub shops if they are in your area. I just wish they had the Tasty Klair pies...yum, yum, yum. My childhood favorite. There are no chips like UTZ!

I used to stop in that McDonalds to get my tea sometimes. (I I didn't have time to get it at the McDonalds in Astoria. So I'd exit the south end of the station, swing over there, and then continue to the other entrance). I would be running, and never even paid attantion to what was next to the McDonalds.
But thanks!

Ort. Carlton, those may have been the Peanut Butter Kandy Kakes. I just had two of them about an hour ago. Love 'em!!

Eric B., if you're down by Whitehall regularly, there is a deli on Water Street called Water Street Gourmet (next to the McDonald's) and they usually have quite a few individual Tastykakes. Don't know what the turnover is or how fresh they are, but it might be worth a try.

Dearfolk,
I bought a pack of Tastycake Peanut Butter something-or-anothers at my local Kroger last night... they came 12 to a box, 6 packs. I tried manfully to limit myself to just one pack, but frankly they were far better than even I had expected, and I absolutely had to have a second pack. I had sweet milk to counteract any adverse sugar rewaction that I might have, but there was none.
Today, when I arrived at my favorite eatery, Allen's Hamburgers, I distributed the remaining 4 packs (8 cakes) out to the staff. Hoo boy! Marisa remarked that "These are those Philadelphia cakes I've heard about." Nobody else had ever heard of the brand, but everyone was IMPRESSED!
Thanks immeasurably for this thread. That's my report on Tastycake for this go-round. When I find another type of them (especially if they're on sale!), I'll report again.
Y'all in Philadelphia have reason to be spoiled rotten! Little Debbies are nothing by comparison.

Gee, I dunno about N. Y. C., but I saw a display for Tastykake at Kroger in Athens, Georgia last night. Want me to mail ya some?

I was in a Yonkers Pathmark yesterday, and see that they now also have the boxed Tastykake products that Eric B wrote about above. I haven't seen any fresh donuts in NYC Pathmarks in months.

Also the Duane Read on Whitehall St. @ Stone St. (near the ferry) On a cardboard stand near the side entrace to the building in the middle of the store. Work the [img] http://www.nyctransitforums.com/forums/images/smilies/bullets/75px-NYCS-bull-trans-W_svg.png[/img] line and used to get the creme filled Coffee Cake as a snack, but then those ran out, and it's mostly the boxed stuff, and maybe a few of the single Juniors. Other times would get one; usually a creme filled cupcake from the CVS on Fulton, which has more of the single stuff.

Tastykake, on this side of the Hudson was mostly distributed by Operative Cake company (which carried all the miscellaneous stuff not distributed here by the first party, such as Flowers, PET and Dolly Madison), and could be found on the Lady Linda shelves in small stores, but recently, you don't see them there as much. So some stores willl just have their own. Meanwhile, on the other side of the Hudson, Tastykake picks up, while Drakes starts becoming more scarce compared to this side of the Hudson.

I saw a bunch of Tastykakes in Key West once, on the same rack as the Drakes, at a gas station.

The number of retail establishments in New York City selling a subset of the Tastykake full line continues to grow. They seem to be products with a 3 week shelf life. I saw them today for the first time in Fine Fare Supermaret in the East Village.

A drive over the border into CT to a Big Y store ought to provide you with many yummy Tastykakes.

That distributor in Farmingdale no longer handles Tastykake products. The outlet store was closed last year, but a sign indicates they still will sell Herr's products in full case lots to consumers.

The latest batch of Tastykake products to hit our shelves mainly consisted of low-fat/sugar free items
such as breakfast bars & muffins. Forgot to check & see if they still had shelf space at Wal-Mart.

Turkey Hill ice cream makes a few flavors that include TastyKakes.

I could "live" with or without Tastykake.

If Entennman's did not make it to this side of the wall, I would be heartbroken.

DH and DS LOVE them, so when I hit Quick Chek, or 7-11 I am always scoping out the tastycake section.

For Tastykake, the Hudson River is like the Great Wall of China.

Yesterday, I found Tastykake for sale in a Target store in College Point, Queens. Billyboy really found a great source: Duane Reade. I have found that all the six stores I checked in Midtown Manhattan have a moderate selection of Tastykake items.

David, down in Panama City (50 miles S. of where I am), the now-closed Albertson's had Tastykake products
on their shelves all the time. As for Save-A-Lot, the selections have ranged from holiday cakes to
strawberry krimpets, breakfast & low-fat bars & if I remember right, they had poundcake for a week or two.

I find the two previous posts very interesting. Tastykake has been doing the same thing with supermarkets east of the Hudson River. They ship in some baked goods in a cardboard display container. When they are gone, they are gone. I don't know if they are doing this to judge the market for their product in a given area, or to make a few extra sales. But the product is what is sold radiating out from Philadelphia. Hence, the promotional materials for their local area.

The funny thing is that you can take the PATH subway from Manhattan to New Jersey, walk into a supermarket or grocery, and get all the Tastykake you want.

Yesterday, a limited selection of Tastykake products showed up again (last time was about 3-5 years ago)
on the shelves at our local Wal-Mart here in NW Florida, so I got a box of Butterscotch Krimpets
now whether they become a permanent fixture is still up in the air; if not, the Save-A-Lot down the
street is usually reliable in getting Tastykakes a few times during the year.

Plus, there was a discount coupon on the box for Six Flags, unfortunately, just at the locations in New Jersey & Baltimore.

Don't know where they are in NY, but just saw some yesterday at the Schertz Walmart. They never carried them before.
We get here Hostess, Little Debbie's, Mrs. Freshley's and H.E.B. Grocerystores now carry their own line of snack cakes,perhasp made for them by Little Debbie or somebody else.

I'll buy a box of Tastykake and take it to work next time.
