Insomnia Cookies - Upper East Side
237 E 53rd Street, New York, NY 10022
Can't sleep? Milk and cookies might do the trick.
After listening to Allegra Levy (vocals) and Seán McCluskey (piano) at the basement bar, Tomi Jazz, I emerged ready for a midnight snack. Something about late evening hours makes cravings cut deep and calories seem irrelevant.
Insomnia Cookies is next door and open late. Walking into the store means relaxing into a sugar coma. Strong smells of sugar sedate the salivating insomniac. I was seduced by the chocolate peanut butter cup cookie; it was love at first sight.
These cookies are big, and they're served warm. Breaking off a piece, the cookie didn't flake, crumble, or snap. In addition to this perfect, malleable texture, Insomnia Cookies are packed full of flavor. The warm chocolate and chunks of peanut butter may have been enough in other cookies, but to achieve this flavor the bakers must have folded peanut butter right into the batter.
I only wish I'd ordered a glass of milk.
