After catching an unfortunate glimpse in the mirror, I decided to ban cookies from my life. And, in fact, I did not treat myself in any way yesterday! But today, faced with the prospect of sitting through the CB1 Tribeca committee meeting—I do it for you—I convinced myself that I deserved a brownie from Duane Park Patisserie. It was fine. What I really wanted, however, was another one of the chocolate-chip cookies a I had a few days ago, from Made Fresh Daily on Front Street. Now that Bouley Bakery is no longer a contender, I’m prepared to say that MFD has my new favorite chocolate-chip cookie (in the neighborhood, that is, and I haven’t made it down to Inatteso Café yet, which I hear is a contender). It’s crispy but moist, with a sparkle of salt, if I’m not mistaken. And it pairs nicely with whatever lemonade—ginger, or maybe strawberry—the shop has going on. Writing about this is not helping my diet.
