$4 a cookie is a little steep, but the chocolate chip walnut cookie is worth it.

If you're going to have a sweet treat, go for quality. Levain is great, but I don't recommend visiting everyday!

Tina G.April 17, 2011
HUGE cookies. Share with a friend and definitely get it with some milk. If you don't like lots of gooey meltiness, definitely not the cookie for you.

Take the F to the East side around 6:30, then tear through Central Park, throw yourself the correct number of avenues over, and arrive sweaty and glowing at 6:59PM and STILL GET A COOKIE.

Frank Bruni recommends the small flatbread pizzas in his New York Diet, in particular one that pairs "a bevy of caramelized onions and very nice Parmigiano Reggiano." Read more

Go for the dark chocolate chocolate chip. Hold off a bit if you can and don't devour the entire cookie right away - this one is even better the next day!

Just spend the 16 dollars and get one of each of the 4 flavors of cookies. Trust me, it's worth it. Share with your friends, but not too many friends!
