Cash Only? ...
 
Is that a thing there?

Quite a few of the places in Chinatown and little Italy were cash only. Mostly just the hole in the wall places. Lots of times those are the best.

Found this morsel today.

Apparently it's the most divine chocolate chip cookie in nyc. I've had better.

The line was all the way down the block. Pretty impressive for a hole in the wall.

 

[grantmichaels]

Still yum lookin' ... would have had to try their sourdough/artisan/country loaves with their name! ...

There is no cookie in the world that I would wait in line for.
 
But it sounds like in NYC you either wait in lines, or starve.
 
 
Or build your own kitchen. doh!

Doesn't look like my style of choc chip. I need the feathered edges, crisp texture yet soft innards.

crisp texture yet soft innards.

 
They say, a man's favorite cookie reflects who they are.
 
Ya big softy!

 

[The Hot Pepper]

only on the inside.
 
I guess you like your with nuts.

 

[Scovie]

fuck no! I hate nuts in, on, around or even in the same room as my cookies.
 
But I still loooove a bag full of Dick's.

 

[The Hot Pepper]

In Twisp, they say man is like favorite burger.
 

 

[Scovie]

Yep.
 
Thick meat, hard buns, and no soy.

I feel ya. I need a chewy cookie with a crunchy outside. These cookies were really cakey

 

[Scovie]

Caky? ew. At least there were ample melty chips!

 

[grantmichaels]

That cookie lacks the M's I need in a chocolate chip cookie ...
 
Needed way more Maillard action ...

That they did. I also like darker chocolate in my cookies. These chips were almost on the cusp of milk chocolate but just barely semi-sweet.

 

[The Hot Pepper]

I noted that. And I don't like milk chocolate that much.

Go to The Chocolate Room. Best cookies. Chocolates, brownies.They make their own ice cream too and do banana splits. 

 

[grantmichaels]

Me either ...

That's the counter-cookie for my pref ... it's quantum opposite!

I'd go in a heartbeat but I'm at the airport now getting ready to leave. : ( All the restaurants in the delta terminal have tablets at every table. I ordered a gross pulled pork sandwich that had chipotle ( I think?) and pineapple. Yuck.
