We need to find some cookies that can even be mentioned in the same breathe. I automatically eliminate city bakery's chocolate chip cookie from the mix. Thoughts? DDR,

I would time my departures from work so as to arrive at Levain just before they closed. Once, while walking to the subway to hit Levain, I ran into Nicholas Kristoff of the New York Times outside what is now the Brooklyn Diner. I quickly engaged him in a conversation and then realized I would miss closing time if I dallied. So I weighed the value of having an interesting conversation with a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist versus having a snack. Should've seen his face as I ran away from him, shouting "Sorry. It's walnut chocolate chip!" I went through a short-lived Levain addiction last summer. I would time my departures from work so as to arrive at Levain just before they closed.

We come from a humble beginning, you and I, so it's glad to hear that after King of Ketchup so gracefully welcomed you to the site. The funny thing is, work for Levain or not, and I know you're kidding, those chocolate chip walnut cookies are still one of the best things Ive eaten in all of New York. They're amazing and they've never disappointed. And since McCormick and Schmidt doesn't serve the donuts here's a great article on fried donuts and fritters in NYC from nymag.com: http://nymag.com/nymetro/food/topfive/n_10011/ Enjoy and thanks again DDR DDR-

I guess it didn't last on the menu. I forgot to add that they called it "drunken" because they added rum to the batter. Or maybe to the oil. It was decadently sweet. But hey - what do I know - I probably work for McCormick & Schmitt and Levain Bakery at night after I get off my day shift at The Cottage. All while working as a (more than) full time attorney. I must be Batman. By the way, this blog is very good. I had it in the DC McCormick about 5 years ago. I guess it didn’t last on the menu.

I work right around the corner from that joint, I'm going to have to look into it because anything greasy and served in a paper bag is food heaven. Thanks for the recommendation. I'll let you know ASAP if this still exists. DDR-

They fry up a fresh batch of doughnuts, dump your order in a paper bag half filled with confectioner's sugar, seal said bag, and shake vigorously. Then they serve you the bag itself with 3 housemade jams of various fruits. A sight to behold.
