At lunch the other day, my coworker and I found ourselves on 74th Street.

It is no secret that I would love to live in one of these brownstones... (
any brownstone for that matter)... but the brownstones on this street are
extra special...

They're special because they share the block with
Levain Bakery! (And no, I didn't jump back to the 1960's to take this picture- I just thought the extra editing looked kinda cool!)

If you've never been to this bakery, I recommend that you hightail it to 74th and Broadway STAT! The goodies that are baked in this basement abode
floor me!

Here's what it looks like inside: a relatively small room, stuffed with everything you need to make the most delicious (and biggest) chocolate chip cookies in NYC!

Everything is made on the premises, so I didn't mind waiting a few extra minutes while my cookies came out of the oven. Here's the view up to the street...

And while these cookies are a bit pricey ($4 a piece), they're also a decadent treat... and especially good when shared with a coworker! (For the record, all the cookies are good- but my personal favorite is the
Dark chocolate, chocolate chip!)

I hope you're having a wonderful Tuesday- thanks for stopping by!
