Levain Bakery

Levain Bakery's New York flagship is a chocolate chip cookie shop located in a semi-basement. It sells chocolate chip walnut cookies, dark chocolate peanut butter cookies, and oatmeal raisin cookies, all thick with crisp outsides and moist insides. A single cookie is large enough that finishing one at once is difficult, and eating it warm tastes better. There is a wait, but the line shortens quickly, and there is almost nowhere to sit, so takeout is the main option.
