Ko Vs. Ssam Bar
Ko and Saam are totally different experiences. You really should go to both! Ko is great because the food is more refined and experimental, but Saam has that deliciously sloppy street food feel that really makes your mouth water.

Cornflake marshmallow chocolate chip cookie and the Brownie pie!

Maybe they need to take the cheese off the Flambé. And was the "bechamel" you were tasting creme fraiche? I love a traditional tarte Flambé which is just creme fraiche, bacon, onions -- no cheese and more than rich enough between the bacon drippings and creme fraiche!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Championship: The Midtown(ish) Edition
When you get to the downtown edition, the chocolate chip cookies from Jack's Stir Brew coffee are a must-try. I go to the location on Front Street by the Seaport. They are crisp on the edges, have a ton of chocolate, are slightly underbaked to ensure a gooey center, and have a deep, almost, caramel-like, burnt suger / brown butter bass note to them. I keep begging the staff to give me the recipe, but rumor has it that only Jack's aunt knows the recipe. She makes the batter, delivers it to the store, and the staff only bakes off the cookies to keep the recipe secret.

Eggs en Cocotte from Prune or the Fried Oyster Omelette (served with tobasco and powedered sugar on the side) from Prune with the Chicago MatchBox Bloody Mary (Made with lemon vodka and includes stuff like pickled green beans as a garnish...yum!

Your mileage may vary on Pret. I went to the one on 42 and 5th today at 5:00. It was like a dried out biscuit. Very tough and hardly any chocolate. Truthfully, I'd rather eat dough from a tube.

Given that half the cookies in NYC seem to be baked below Union Sq, good luck!
I have no idea if it's the BEST, but you have to include Insomnia Cookies.
This bastion of cookies for the NYU crowd (and anyone else in a 3 mile radius), are delectable. And (I think) it's the only purveyor that does nothing BUT cookies. Whenever I brought them into work, it caused a scene like the bridal gown sale at Filene's.

Ditto on Jack's. My daughter used to work there and couldn't get the recipe. Top secret. But I'm sure they have lots of coffee. I think they might actually contain ground coffee beans. Sometimes they're too raw (because the staff bakes them in a toaster oven and lack consistent timing) but they're usually very good. Jacques Torres is still the winner.

We are coming to NY in a month and I am already dreaming of eating here. The pizza looks WAY better than anything we get in the UK! I really want to try brussel sprout pizza. Great pictures!

The bottom of that pizza looks amazing, you just know its is nice and crispy from being cooked really fast at a really hot temp. perfection

@chuckbass--Thanks for the 411 on the updated flavors--I so wanted to try the salty pistachio soft serve..maybe the graham cracker or the choclate malt..The salty pistachio got rave reviews by many. I wonder why is was discontinued? :o(

just wanted you all to know that they have updated the soft serve flavors and the salty-pistachio is no more! they now have chocolate malt, graham cracker, orange julius, and my personal favorite, root beer float!!

I agree with AverageJoe because I saw same thing, actually people who sat down were investors of this worse pizza place in NYC so for them was easy to get pizza and for us regular customers who are paying to this people NOT!!! Also Adam Kuban is friend of Jim(owner of this place), so everyone who is reading this realize why he left such good feedback on pizzas. What to say about manager, unprofessional, no respect for customers, rude.... should I go on?? I think his name was GUY funny name but worse thing is that I think he never worked in restaurant business before. Waiters was polite and nice, especially ours, this guy was from Serbia if I remember it right. Very talkative guy, explained menu and food, very fast with drinks,smiling and knows the restaurant job. Only good hiring in that place are waiters, manager is WORSE IN WORLD!!! Please don't go here if you don't want to wait for 2 hrs just to sit down and then 1 more hr to get this worse pizza in city!!!!!

Last night, we watched the waiter tell the two diners next to us (who had waited for 40 minutes for a table and who had ordered 20 minutes prior to this) that the restaurant was OUT of PIZZA DOUGH. It was not even 10PM. The manager, at first refused to even come to the table to talk with the diners, and when he finally did show up he refused to cover even the cost of the drinks. The couple was irate (and rightly so) and one of the diners used the f-word at which point the manager kicked them out of the restaurant.
We were still discussing the horrible treatment the couple had received when NOT TEN MINUTES LATER, the hostess sat another group of 3 diners at the SAME TABLE. We waited for the waiter to come over and humbly apologize for a lack of dough, but instead they brought them FOUR PIZZAS! SO, it appears that you have to be SOMEONE in this town to get decent service (and possibly even PIZZA) at this restaurant.
DO NOT GO TO CO.
The pizza was fine, but nothing amazing. Definitely not worth a 45 minute wait. And definitely not if you need ANY customer service!
