Sugar Rush: Cookie Plate at 'wichcraft at the Southwest Porch in Bryant Park
I was there last week, and they only offered a cookie of the day (PB). But it was $1! A good deal. I miss their jam bars though.

They shut down their culinary classes.

Chocolate mousse from Sizzler. Don't know if I'd still like it (haven't been to that restaurant in years).
Harlem Soul Food rec?
Amy Ruth's at 113 W 116 St. I had some chunky grits and a silky egg white omelet.
Mixed Review: Stonewall Kitchen Blueberry Pancake and Waffle Mix
Sturdiwheat is actually very good. The fluffiest pancakes I've ever made. You can get a free sample by calling 800-201-9650.
Sugar Rush: New Soft Serve at Kyotofu
This looks good, but man $3.85 is a lot. Zen Burger also has soy soft serve for $2, but I haven't tried it.
First Taste of the Van Leeuwen Ice Cream Truck
I tried the chocolate-hazelnut and was disappointed. Very heavy cream and egg taste, but hardly any chocolate-hazelnut. It was really stiff too, even when it was hot outside.

Darn, I didn't go because I thought it would be a mob house. Maybe I'll go tomorrow and pay full price.

Hi Ed, it was nice seeing you at the Who's Who on Sat. (I work at Gourmet.com now.) Hope you had fun!
Artichoke Pizza from Sullivan Street Bakery and Grandaisy: My Favorite Rite of Spring
One time I went to Sullivan St. Bakery at 6:00 PM, and the sandwich was half off! I wonder if they always have stuff on sale when they're close to closing.

um, a California roll?
Red Hook Taco Vendors: Sometimes the Good Guys Do Win
Woohoo! My mom visits me in New York once a year, and she insisted that we go to the Red Hook ball fields. BTW, I went to Duane Park Patisserie this weekend and bought an apple turnover, based on your recommendation. While you haven't steered me wrong before, I was disappointed. It was floppy and thin, and the apple filling melded with the pastry. Maybe it's because I ate it that night, but a caveat to eat while fresh would have been helpful. Also, I was tempted to by Koeze's PB at Fairway yesterday.
Pickle Sickle, Anyone?
These were disgusting. Way too salty.
The Best Gelato in New York Is Being Served in a Tanning Salon
I'm with you. It's never too cold for ice cream! I just made pumpkin pie ice cream. A couple years ago, I walked all along 4th Ave. looking for Bussola, not realizing it was closed. This new place looks good, but it's so far.
Cook the Book: Milk Chocolate with Burnt Caramel Drink
I actually prefer to eat dark chocolate all by itself. Favorite recipes include hot chocolate, chocolate ice cream and truffles (couldn't narrow it down).
See's Chocolates: Have You See-n the Light?
I think See's excels in toffees, nuts and chews. I'm from L.A., so my family always puts out a box during the holidays. Not a huge fan of their truffles though...they're grainy and too sweet.
What's Your Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie?
Birdbath (which, I guess is City Bakery) and Amy's Bread.
In any case, I'm actually partial to oatmeal or else an "everything" cookie.
Oh, also Bread Alone at Union Sq Green market.
What's Your Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie?
Say it with Flour in Midtown East. Amazing!
What's Your Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie?
Ah, I love that this debate never gets old.
Levain's walnut chocolate chip, followed closely by Momofuku's cornflake marshmallow chocolate chip, followed by Petrossian's ridiculously large and gooey walnut chocolate chip.
What's Your Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie?
Two Little Red Hens has the best chocolate chunk cookie for only $1.60! I think Levain is way too "raw" inside.
What's Your Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie?
Just look at this photo and tell me it's not the best looking chocolate chip cookie you've ever seen:

Don't get me wrong, Jacques Torres is delicious too, but in a high class chocolate way, because thin, buttery cookie is all about the shards of chocolate:

City Bakery is fairly similar to Jacques in that it's thin and loaded with gooey shards of chocolate. The only thing I didn't love about City is that it's so buttery, the cookie doesn't have that delicious, home-baked, reminds us of Mom's cookie flavor that Levain has. It's that characteristic that makes Levain the best.

What's Your Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie?
CITY BAKERY! Why the hell would you go anywhere else??? Oh my god, I can taste it now . . . (for the record, their peanut butter cookie is like a gift from the peanut butter gods. Now if I could just finally wrangle the recipe from Maury Rubin, I'd be a much happier - and fatter! - girl.
What's Your Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie?
It's not even close -- CITY BAKERY. CITY BAKERY. CITY BAKERY. and the CITY BAKERY ginger cookie is the SECOND-BEST chocolate-chip cookie, even thought it's not chocolate chip. It's like Chuck Norris that way.
What's Your Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie?
Oh and Chocolate Room was pretty damn good too if recollection serves me.
What's Your Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie?
Baked, Petrossian's, Chocolate Bar, Jacques Torres
What's Your Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie?
I'm going to echo most of you by saying Jacques Torres and Levain...so freaking good.
Also, Ruby et Violette is pretty awesome.
What's Your Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie?
Jacques Torres, hands down!
What's Your Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie?
My spontaneous side trip to Levain for a gooey, enormous, nut-filled chocolate chip cookie one afternoon was one of the best decisions of my life.
What's Your Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie?
Just like Alan says when introducing Letterman: "From New York, the greatest city in the world. . ."
Are you sure the original was invented in Massachusetts?
What's Your Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie?
Milk Bar, City Bakery, Jacques, then Levain.
(But if it's Levain's ChocPB Chip, it trumps them all)
Somewhere in the back is Bouchon.
Echo the shout to Jack's, which has an outpost near the Seaport.
In a pinch, Pret ain't bad. Surprisingly.
What's Your Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie?
I'm a fan of Insomnia Cookies on 8th Street. Nothing fancy or special, just tasty.
What's Your Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie?
i love so many of the cookies listed above.
since you are looking for suggestions for your taste test, i must add to the list and say that jack's stir brew coffee in the west village has some really really delicious (surprisingly delicious, as they are not a bakery at all!) chocolate chip cookies that they bake constantly throughout the day in small batches. make sure, though, that you get one that's been baked relatively close to when you come by! and at $1 a pop, they're a real bargain too!
What's Your Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie?
Jacques Torres by a mile, but a vote for Bouchon
