Levain Bakery

Check out this unassuming little guy:

Reported to have the BEST cookies in the city, Christina and I paid a visit to Levain Bakery on the Upper West Side this weekend




My choices included the chocolate chip walnut cookie:

and the chocolate peanut butter cookie:

While labeling them as the BEST cookies in the city might be a bit of an exaggeration, they were certainly pretty good - especially when fresh. Crunchy on the outside, while soft on the inside.

[The chocolate peanut butter one was a bit too sweet though, so you should definitely have some cold milk around if you're going to tackle it]

Don't be fooled by the photographs - those suckers are big. Each one was the size of my fist and could probably feed two hungry little Victorias.
