And everyone's got their favorites — you just need to know where to look.

There's the massive chocolate chip & walnut cookie at Levain Bakery:

Crunchy on the outside, soft and gooey on the inside, and worth the wait every time.

The perfectly crispy fries from Pommes Frites:

Preferably doused in one (or eight) of their sauces — like mango chutney mayo or Parmesan peppercorn.

The falafel or shawarma pita sandwiches at Mamoun's:

The Salty Pimp at the Big Gay Ice Cream Shop:

And just about everything from the Halal Cart at 53rd & 6th:
