Are you one of those people that prefers cookie dough to actual baked cookies? Or are you one of those people that prefer baked cookies but also really love cookie dough because that shit is delicious too? 100% of the world’s population falls into either of these categories and what that tells us is that everyone really likes cookie dough. DŌ serves just that and it has quickly become one of the most in demand food items in all of the city, with lines at the Greenwich Village location often times wrapping around the block. The dough they serve is as beautiful as it is delicious and it will make you very, very happy – we pinky swear.

Ramen Burger serves a delicious burger that uses ramen in place of a bun.

Do you ever find yourself awake at 4am on a Wednesday wondering why mozzarella sticks aren’t offered as much as chicken tenders when they are equally as delicious and arguably more satisfying?

You know who and what Van Leeuwen Ice Cream is – they have those buttery yellow trucks and those cozy stores around the city and people hovering around them are eating ice cream that is made from scratch.
