Where: Levain Bakery
167 W 74th St, New York, NY 10023

Why: Another example of something that isn’t only the best in New York City, but can lay claim to possibly being the best cookie in America

What: There’s not much to say, other than that the chocolate chip cookie at Levain is the ultimate splurge. Crispy outside, soft and perfectly gooey chocolate insides. It must be tasted to be believed.
