"Go to William Greenberg Desserts and have "The Best" Black and White Cookie in NYC."

""Maria" is usually on this corner. $1 tamales: pork, chicken ("spicy" or "not spicy"), cheese, and a "dulce" one too. Champurrado and arroz con leche, also just a buck."

"Just remember: They're closed on Mondays."

"Get there "early" before they run out of bread. But if they do, ask if they will be gearing up for another round of banh mi making. If so, you can reserve a sandwich for later."

"One of the Great Walks in NYC, during the day and/or at night. Summer night at 2:30am - Perfect!"

"Yes, it's all about the Cookies here, but some of the other baked treats are also worth sampling like the Chocolate or Cinnamon Brioche "sticks" and the thin-crust pizzas."
