"This quirky Hell’s Kitchen bakery’s biggest claim to fame is their special themed cookies in collaboration with Broadway shows (Glinda’s Cotton Candy, anyone?). The 100 frequently rotating flavors are just as whacky: think Cinnamon Toasted Crunch or Big Apple Crisp. The so-called “Classic,” one of just a few you can count on being available every day of the week, is their chocolate chip cookie. And classic is exactly what it is, with big chunks of semi-sweet chocolate (but not too big, nor too many of them) and a light sprinkling of sea salt. We don’t find ourselves here often, but Schmackary’s is open until 11pm, which makes it a good back-pocket option if you’ve got a hungry young person on your hands who could use a tie-in treat up after the curtain drops." - Molly Fitzpatrick
