Levain Bakery

The best cookies in New York City can be found at Levain's. If you're invited to someone's house for dinner, you better show up with a box of Levain cookies.

There are several locations. This one is at 1484 3rd Avenue.

They only have 5 varieties: Chocolate Chip Walnut, Gluten-free Chocolate Chip Walnut, Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chip, Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip and Oatmeal Raisin. They're $4 each (the gluten free is $5) but weigh in at 6 oz each. You can order them online but they'll cost more: $27 for 4, $49 for 8 and $68 for 12.
