"I was glad to see a late-night Insomnia Cookies finally open last week on the university-adjacent stretch of Maple Street after a delay from its projected Fall 2018 opening. The national chain — now with over 100 locations — is delivering to Tulane, Loyola and the surrounding area until 3 a.m. nightly; cookies are sold by the half-dozen in boxes reminiscent of the donut variety and come in expected flavors like snickerdoodle, oatmeal raisin and sugar. You can track deliveries through the Insomnia Cookie app, though early reviews noted some first-week glitches. The concept was launched by University of Pennsylvania graduate Seth Berkowitz, and the New Orleans shop occupies the longtime Maple Street Book Shop space at 7527 Maple Street, open every day from about 9 or 10 a.m. to 3 a.m." - Clair Lorell
