"Only one spot has “the cookie,” and it’s an upscale grocery store chain. The chocolate chip cookie at Metropolitan Market is heavy on the chocolate: It contains two types of Belgian-style chocolate chunks, and the result is a mess of melted chocolate all over your mouth and hands. It’s almost overwhelming, though the crunchiness of the toasted walnuts helps temper the chocolate intensity. No other cookie in town so perfectly recalls the childhood joy of digging into a messy cookie fresh out of the oven. We promise not to look while you’re licking your fingers clean." - Kurt Suchman
