| | | | | | Levain Bakery 167 West 74th Street (Between Amsterdam and Columbus Avenues) (212) 874-6080 I don’t say it often. In fact, I’ve only said it one other time on this blog. It took me awhile to get there…and actually, now that I think about it, I still haven’t really gotten there. A kind friend, Dan,... | | | | | | My cinnamon butter brioche ($3) was all I expected, but still I thought about the chocolate chip brioche that got away. Anything with chocolate chips hanging out both sides is hard to pass... | | | | | | If you haven’t tried Levain Bakery’s Cookies, you haven’t lived. The chocolate chip walnut is the best cookie I’ve ever had and it’s the best $3.75 you can spend in this city. If things are slow in the small shop on 74th Street off Amsterdam Avenue, ask them to toss it back in the oven for a minut... | | | | | | Levain Bakery has an odd way of inviting you inside. | | | | | | | | | | | | Located on the Upper West Side, these are by far the best cookies in New York: large, gooey and so filling that they are practically a meal substitute. I also adore the Banana Ricotta Tart at Balthazar, Panna Cotta at Bar Pitti, and the Sticky Toffee Pudding at Schiller’s.

I was initially there to buy 4 chocolate chip walnut cookies for a museum outing with my compadres. Levain's cookies were listed as one o... | | | | | | There are certain bloggers who are known for getting the scoop. They break big news stories, create political scandals, get interviewed on CNN. And then there's me: Mr. Laggy. Let me be known as the blogger, specifically the food blogger, who comes very late to whatever phenomenon is at issue. I... | | | | | | [kadonk] I just attempted to toss an empty box of Pocky (or rather, an empty box of air where Pocky had once existed) into the trash bin about 3 feet away from my seat. For the second it was airborne, its direction cruelly shifted from "straight into the trash bin" into "floor space... | | | | | | The cookies are indeed delicious, and toxic (as in you are guaranteed to have a massive sugar rush and consume in one sitting your week's share of butter) but worth it when you are craving a somewhat raw cookie experience. They also make great little pizzas (although they are pricey) - I recommend ... | | | |
