A six ounce cookie? Can it be really true?! Yes, my friends, it is true, and it is a magnificent chocolate chip walnut cookie that any cookie lover would be happy to make their last meal (and trust us, it’s a meal!). Founded by two competitive swimmers dreaming up the perfect chocolate chip cookie while training for an Ironman, it’s not surprising these two got it right and did it Big! Swimming works up a mean hunger after all. Offering a diverse selection of rustic breads, brioche, muffins, scones, cakes, tarts and, of course, cookies, there’s not much room to sit inside so you’re best off choosing your baked creations and strolling over to Central Park to devour them in the sun.
