Sal and Carmine, New York City 10-2011

I'd read a lot about NYC pizza, particularly that the most well known ones had long queues. As game as I was as a tourist, given there was only a few short days in NYC, queueing for pizza had to give way. Luckily a well reputed one was very near the hostel on the UWS. After arriving very late, we went the first night and tasted what I associate now as NYC pizza - large slices, thin crust, but very flavoursome/salty.

On the last night in NYC we went back. Just because we couldn't decide what to eat after some decadent meals already.

Really good. Look forward to queueing next time perhaps.

Levain Bakery, New York City 10-2011

A famous bakery for cookies near Central Park. Quite simply the best cookie I've ever had and 7 years later in 2018 I was delivered some and they are still as good.

Maintaining their firm coat and soft moist centre even many days later.

The Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookie remains unrivalled. Unsurpassed.
