For the past few weeks I've been freelancing at a cool, small ad agency called Sideways NYC. While I was at first skeptical that its location, just steps from Penn Station, would excite me in any way, shape, or how, I now definitely take that back.

Aside from midtown being the home to COUNTLESS daily sample sales (PRO), it's also the neighborhood where a little coffee shop on 38th (between 7th and 8th) called Culture Espresso sells literally the BEST chocolate chip cookies EVER.

PEOPLE: these things are as tall at least three normal size cookies, and so incredibly gooey and chocolatey that you can only handle a few bites.

JUST KIDDING–you can totally eat the whole thing, which will probably gain you about 2.5 lbs on contact, but is COMPLETELY WORTH IT and will bring you GREAT JOY.

Take that, Levain.
