Gooey on The Inside Cookies

This hole in the wall (literally located in a basement!) cookie shop is so underrated !! The name of the shop is very fitting for its menu items, as all the cookies had a harder outer shell and the gooeist / slightly underbaked insides🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️All of the cookies came out super warm, and when you break it apart all the chocolate is half-melted 🍫This place also has some creative items, like the Croissant Chocolate Chip Cookie (which was one of my favs and a brand new menu item!) and the Dubai Chocolate Cookie (which was my fav since it had a hint of salt in it)😇

I’ve walked past this spot so many times and was always a little skeptical, but I finally gave it a try — and I’m so glad I did. This place deserves way more attention. The chocolate chip cookie tasted homemade, not overly sweet like most popular cookie spots in the city. I usually can only take a few bites and end up sharing because it’s too much, but with this one, I didn’t want to stop eating. It was warm, had the perfect balance of crunchy edges and a gooey center, and just felt like a really satisfying treat. Definitely coming back. I don’t think it’s worth $8/$9 for one though. I’d rather get an elevated pastry elsewhere.

Omg. The cookies smell so good. The staff was very friend to explain the deal they offer. My first time there and I definitely need to try out their other cookies on happy hour time that is cheaper.

Gooey On The Inside/Nutella Cookie: The portion size of the cookie is quite substantial. Unlike most cookie shops, this location serves the cookie partially baked. While I acknowledge the originality, it doesn’t do justice in this case. The contents of the nutella cookie was too sugary and overbearing in taste. The cookie was undercooked, which resulted in its gooey texture. My preference is to have cookies in their original forms.

I saw these on TV on The View and they looked so good so I decided to order them despite them being so expensive. They came in a very cute box and I couldn’t wait to open them. What a disappointment! The cookies were like a big dry rock. After warming them per the instructions, they were still dry and crumbly and the taste was on the low end of the gourmet cookie scale. I want my money back.

Love the cookies by gooey on the inside wish they had oatmeal 🤦🏾‍♂️ was disappointed but there triple chocolate was everything 😂 We had a few options and enjoyed all of them definitely would recommend this place to try it in the area Hope you guys enjoy this short but sweet review 😂 If you make it let me know what you had 🙏🏾 Follow me @imbroke_eats and @imbroke_rob Thanks again

The people working behind the counter were incredibly friendly and warm. The cookies are $8 each but they are huge, and can easily be split between friends. I loved the apple pie cookie, not too sweet and it tasted just like apple pie crust. The banana cream pie filling was a little too sweet for me but the cookie itself tasted like nilla wafers and was so yummy.

These cookies are amazing and the service 10/10!! I split the Oreo espresso and chai snickerdoodle with a friend (we were also debating getting the birthday cake). he cut them up for us to share AND added the birthday cake he overheard us talking about! The cookies were amazinggg best snickerdoodle I’ve ever had !!

I came across Gooey on the Inside completely by accident, and let me tell you, it turned out to be the best surprise of my day! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the warm, inviting aroma of freshly baked cookies, and I knew I had to give it a try. I decided on the Salted Caramel Pretzel cookie, and it was an absolute masterpiece. The blend of sweet and salty flavors was perfectly balanced--the gooey, buttery caramel oozed out with every bite, and the pretzels added just the right amount of crunch to keep it interesting. The texture of the cookie was unlike anything I've ever had before: crispy on the outside and perfectly soft and gooey in the middle. It's clear that a lot of love and thought goes into their baking process. As if the cookies weren't enough to win me over, the shop itself was such a cozy little spot. The vibe is cool yet comfortable, making it an ideal place to hang out with friends or even just take a moment to yourself to enjoy a sweet treat. The staff was super friendly and eager to share their recommendations, which I really appreciated as a first-time visitor. They suggested warming the cookies slightly for an even gooier experience, and now I can't imagine eating them any other way! Needless to say, I'm already planning my next visit to try more flavors. Gooey on the Inside is a must-visit for anyone who loves indulgent, high-quality desserts. Trust me, you won't regret it!

Walked by and saw a sign pointing down some shady staircase for cookies (I know how it sounds...) After heading down we arrived at a small tight storefront greeted by absolutely no one. Eventually a staff member came out and we asked what the flavor of the month was. He mumbled "there's none." He wouldn't clarify if it was sold out or what it was. We ended up getting a bueno bueno cookie and a red velvet cookie. A whopping $8.71 per cookie and it was nothing special. The staff member was also more interested in chatting with his colleague about a new hat they had bought than finishing up our order. I should've followed my instincts and avoid shady staircases for desserts in the future. Edit What a salty reply from the owner, no wonder this place is trash lol. Why don't you focus on improving your store hospitality or your product instead of trying to make witty replies to reviews. Don't waste your time with this store, especially when there's tons of better, and cheaper cookie spots. Go to Levain, chip city, insomnia cookie, or literally anywhere else.

I unfortunately cannot rate this establishment higher than 2 stars because of the unrest this caused my stomach. Almost immediately after consuming, a feeling of queasy uneasiness descended upon my body that didn't dissipate until the morning after. I wished for the best and, unfortunately, did not experience anything close to my expectations. The Chocolate S'more cookie also lacked flavor in certain bites, possibly because others contained a sugar overload.

Came for the cookie happy hour, even $5 is still a lot for a cookie but seems to be the norm now. Got there a little before opening at 4pm as was in the area, they didn't open exactly at 4pm, took them a couple minutes. We said we were only going to get a cookie each but ended up with 4, should have just got a cookie each. I can't even remember what we ordered, s'mores was one of them. They give you your cookies in a to-go container, not a proper bakery box - the cookies are soo undercooked and gooey, the container became a mess, the cookies balancing on other cookies, hitting the roof of the box. The box ripped, no bag - was walking around the city like an idiot with this box. Tbh didn't even enjoy the cookies, as said they are soo undercooked they can't even hold themselves up. Total mess eating them and they were dry, the actual cooked part of the cookies were dry - had you grabbing for water. Won't be coming back.

Texture was a bit off...I did like that they heated up the cookie. The place is emgery small, it's a grab and go kinda deal.

Stopped into gooey on the inside for a late night treat. Got myself a chocolate caramel smores cookie. I walked down the small stairwell and entered a small store with nothing more than a counter to serve customers up some cookies. The front is small because there is loads of cookie baking craziness going on in the back. Ovens, racks, doughs all sprawled out. It is wonderful. There was only 1 worker present and they were definitely stressed. Running around in maximum overdrive. I can always appreciate an employee that is overwhelmed, but still prioritizing the customer. Now, for the cookie. They serve their cookies warm because the center is supposed to be underbaked. So, they do not recommend eating them cold. These things are dense. Thick, gooey, and chewy. The cookie had a melted marshmallow atop with a gooey, caramel center. Some really solid ingredients, but the cookie did not knock my socks off. It was good, but certainly not the best I had while in NY. All in all, a decent cookie. But, I would probably roll with a regular chocolate chip next time!

$7 for a cookie seems pricey, even for NYC. But if you stop in between 2-6 on Tuesday-Friday during 'Happy Hour,' you can enjoy Gooey on the Inside's cookies for only $5 each (the four-for-three deal still applies). I love that this place has a variety of cookies but that the menu stays consistent from week to week. The only change is that Gooey offers a Cookie of the Month that changes. The Bueno Bueno was my favorite -- a rich combination of cookie and Nutella.

BEST COOKIE SPOT IN MANHATTAN! The flavors and the bake on the cookies are superb. Worth every penny! The oatmeal apple pie cookie was my absolutely favorite. Love that there's happy hours deals 4-6pm during the week. All cookie lovers especially those who enjoy a cookie with a gooey soft and flavorful bite, have to stop by.

Disappointed. Came all the way across town while in NYC during their opening hours. But they were closed. Google Busines info not accurate

Hear me out, THIS IS BETTER THAN LEVIAN and Y'all can fight me. I don't care!! I had this place bookmarked for my NYC trip but it wasn't on my itinerary but we stumble on this place as we were heading to Washington Square park. Now we didn't even see the Happy Hour sign until we got in and let me tell you...WORTH IT!! $4.00 each and limit is two, so you bet your sweet tooth I got two and my friend got the other two. It's a cramp place downstairs but we got here before the rush because after we paid and was about to head back upstairs, there was already a line out of the door. Came at the right time and he even warmed up the whole box of cookies. It was gloomy out, and that cookie really made my day as we were headed to the park. Packing was really good, the other box is wrapped up and still good after a couple days (I place mine in the fridge when I got home, and when it was time to head back to CA, I just added into my luggage.) Still good and gooey. Thank you for the worker who took our order, and went above and beyond to packed our cookies. It means alot to me cause you know how TSA can get. p.s. Levain is overrated, yall should go here. This is the SIGN. The sign you're asking right now. GO here.

stumbled upon this place on the way from dinner. it's located on the baement which is easy to walk pass without noticing. There are a lot of options of cookies and other cookie jars. I had the Bueno Bueno which has hazelnut filling. it's a bit too sweet to my taste but it's really good if you love sweets. they heat the cookie up so you can enjoy it warm, but i wish they asked because i was going to take it home to eat next day. but it was heated and the cream got on all over the bag. I'm not sure if it's my favorite cookie spot because it's a bit too sweet for me. but they are definitely great cookies.

Many years later, and the gooeyness abides. Love it. Tried the Dark Chocolate Caramel S'Mores a La Mode and it was fabulous. Heavy and decadent. Nap recommended after.

Received the worst cookies ever. I'll Never believe "Oprah's Favorite" hype again! Arrived 7days after placing order. Dry crumbly nowhere near gooey cookies! Talked to store they blamed the shipper...seriously? I ordered cookies in February they arrived in a Christmas decoration box! Were they fresh? Please note the vacuum packaging is not effective.

It is a small set of stairs down from ground level and hot inside. There are some cookies inside the display on the far side from the entryway. The kitchen can be seen from the front of the shop. There were a few people before me and one man working. He'd take an order then go to the back to pack it up before bringing it to the front and ringing the customer up. Line went pretty quickly. I happened to be there during their cookie HH so they were all $4 for such big and gooey cookies. Limit 2 per person. He wrapped each cookie with wax paper and placed them into a thin cardboard box which was then covered in saram wrap. The cookies themselves were indeed crunchy on the outside and ooey on the inside. The texture is more like a cookie dough, i did wonder if it was fully cooked but i think thats how the cookie was intended to be. 2/5 Smores - so much cinnamon that i was not expecting. The marshmallow topping was very tacky after it cooled, made it slightly messier to eat. I didn't like this one that much personally. It was more reminiscent of a snickerdoodle cookie but with chocolate. I didn't get a smores profile from this 5/5 Bueno - delicious. The chocolate, hazelnut, and cookie were so good together. Moist but still crunchy and had the creaminess from the hazelnut center. Would get this again. I think about this place whenever I'm in the area. Heard they're open late, might be nice to grab a cookie after a night out if I'm nearby.

Made it for happy hour! It's a no frills cookie joint. Essentially a large kitchen space with a small counter when you walk in. There were already a few people on line when I got there around 5 on a Friday. You are limited to two cookies at the happy hour price of $4 then the cookies are $7. I tried the chocolate chip, the matcha with white chocolate and black sesame seeds, and the double chocolate caramel s'mores. All were good! The s'mores didn't really seem to have much caramel though. Definitely worth going back at happy hour to try more flavors and pay $4. Paying $7 seems a bit steep.

Little basement spot. Take away only. Great cookies, but insanely pricey even by NYC standards. I never thought I would say Levian is cheaper.

Gooey on the Inside is definitely a place to indulge your sweet tooth. You step down into this place and your olfactory senses immediately pick up on the sweet indulgences awaiting you. Your challenge is to figure out what you want among all the offerings divided among cookies, gowee cookie bites and jars, the latter a rather complicated molten cookie in a jar at double the price. Having just come from Wah Fung No 1 offering a complete meal for six, these cookies at seven bucks and jars at fourteen and change unfortunately suffer by comparison. Nevertheless, these are some indulgences and my only caution was I did not want something too sweet. I chose the cookie of the month, strawberry shortcake, oatmeal apple pie, and sweet potato custard blackberry. None of these proved to be too sweet. By the way, the flavors seem to be offered across the entire range; whether cookie, gowee or jar. They will pack them in a cardboard box and wrap the whole thing in Saran wrap to lock in the moisture as they are served up very warm. You will want to eat them immediately or warm them at home to get the desirable impact. The strawberry shortcake was a bit underwhelming. The candied sprinkles would have been better replaced with strawberry jam or preserves. The oatmeal apple pie was a little better and definitely benefits from being served warm and gooey. The star of the show was the sweet potato custard blackberry. The custard really stood out and it was not too sweet. The custard also offered a juxtaposed texture that really set it off, definitely my favorite, and a demonstration of culinary refinement. Service is very warm and personable. Three and a half stars.

This place was so close to our hotel and I was in the kiddo for something sweet! It's easy to kiss this little business, as it's in a lower basement and has an entrance that's sort of hidden. Look for the sign! I got a few cookies and the party cookie one was my favorite. It had sprinkles, which I can't say no to! The inside was super soft and I really enjoyed it. The s'mores cookie wasn't the best. The marshmallow stick to the wrapper and it didn't taste like s'mores to me. It tastes pretty much like a chocolate cookie, which is not what I wanted. My partner really enjoyed the chocolate chip cookie! Try this place is you want a yummy giant cookie! The prices are too expensive though.

Such a cute spot and the cookies are so tasty! The title is very accurate, the cookies melt in your mouth. It's expensive for a single cookie but it's so large and heavy you can easily split between 2 people. I can see this not traveling well because the appeal is the "gooey" cookie. Place is super small, no seating but service was quick

This was by far the best cookie spot I have had in manhattan so far. Levain is extremely overrated so I would definitely recommend choosing this place over that. The cookies are a bit pricey at $7 a cookie but totally worth it in my opinion. There is also a happy hour from 4-6 where cookies are half off. I got the bueno bueno cookie and it was fantastic. It was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside with bueno chocolate and Nutella. The shear amount of options and quality of the cookie make this the best I've tried so far. 100% recommend checking this place out.

Ordered the standard chocolate gooey cookie, personally it is not for me. The outside was very crispy but the inside was soft but almost look an undercooked soft. The cookie dough itself didn't really taste like much.

My sister, husband, and I went on our own small NYC Cookie Tour. We stopped at a bunch of places that we've been wanting to try. Gooey on the Inside was the 11th stop on our cookie tour ( but more like 14th because Michaeli and La Mercerie were out of cookies and Best Damn Cookies was closed). The cookies here were EXPENSIVE. The cookie was indeed gooey on the inside, super thick, and tasted like cookie dough. It was just too... underbaked seeming. Maybe I'm not as big of a fan of gooey cookies as I thought I was. It was good, don't get me wrong, just not my favorite for $7. This was our list of places we tried: L'ami Pierre Culture Espresso Daily Provisions JM Bakery Seven Grams Butterdose Librae Funny face Levain Maman Gooey on the inside We also stopped at these places, but they were out of cookies by the time we got there. Michaeli La Mercerie Best Damn Cookies (Closed)

If you wanna have a good sugar rush while eating a good tasty snack, this is the place to check out. The cookie is a good size so you don't need to worry about not being filled up, and there are a lot of choices to choose from. However, I wish there was a seating area to enjoy the cookies.

Ok, ok, finally gave into the hype, saw this on Social Media...and after lunch nearby decided to stop in. The options all looked great and I almost wish we would have had them warm up the cookies...however we weren't going to eat them right away. The gentleman working there gave a card with instructions on them to warm at home and they were delicious! One cookie can definitely feed 2 maybe 3 people depending on which one you got as some were more decadent than others. I'd go back to try some of the seasonal cookies. Cute basement location that had one person working that we saw and plenty of choices.

Understaffed? Wish we could have enjoyed the cookies as we walked a bit to get to the location. Google and light-up sign in window says open but no one home. Maybe try calling before you go.

I was walking to another business and I smelled cookies. I started looking around and saw it was down the steps. I went down the stairs and found these amazing cookies. The cookies are quite large but they keep well so I would say you can buy a lot and they will stay fresh. I went on a Friday and was still eating the cookies for almost a week. The cookies were still soft and fresh even a week later. The employee packaged the cookies well and when I got home they were soft. His attention to detail was great; he recommended what I should order. There were alot of different flavors and I was unsure of what to order. I ordered three cookies, the seasonal one which is coconut and passion fruit, chocolate chip and s'mores. The flavors of the coconut and passion fruit flavor was quite delicious, not overly sweet and the flavors combined well. I had the chocolate chip but that to me was alright, I would not order it again. The last cookie was the s'mores cookie which I enjoyed. The s'mores cookie had marshmallow in the middle and the dark chocolate and that helped to balance out the flavor. I could taste the cinnamon in the cookie and really enjoyed it.

Randomly, some time ago, I was walking and passed this lovely "down the stairs hole in the wall" and I recall it smelling delicious and yet the sign said not open or order online only or something equally upsetting. ( it may have been post covid times). so time passes. Let's say a year or more. I finally make my way down these stairs. The choices are delectable. The selection seems scrumptious. I settle on the ever popular birthday cake (usually a fan fave right ?) I found it so so. Very sweet nothing special. My additional choice was rice pudding and I loved it ! My friend got oatmeal apple something and he loved that. I def recommend giving this place a try especially during their cookie happy hour which I believe is 4-6 pm.

What a delicious reco from my sister-in-law @stephanie12292 ! This cute lil cookie shop is only meant to order and take your cookies to go, but that was perfect for me! The name of this shop tells no lies- they truly are gooey on the inside. The perfectly crafted cookie. Thick, flavorful and truly melts in your mouth !! I got the dark choco caramel s'mores and the special which was the strawberry shortcake. The choco cookie was sooooo good. It was so gooey on the inside it was hard to hold and take pictures. It was like a warm hug. The marshmallow fluff was lightly toasted. The dark choco paired perfectly with the sweet mallow and caramel. If you know me irl the strawberry shortcake cookie was prob out of left field bc I typically don't go for fruity sweets but I figured since it was their featured cookie I'd give her a while and boy was this cookie yummy. A light strawberry flavor with some of the best frosting I've tasted. My only regret is I didn't try more! All #GOUDapproved from moi.

Great cookies! They are delicious and come with easy to follow instructions for baking. Can't recommend this place enough!

Unfortunately this is the worst cookie I ever had, over rated, overpriced and false information. The staff is unfriendly and rude. I would never purchased from place ever

i was craving a chocolate chip cookie after dinner at essex market and came here after reading the reviews even though they have a ton of bakeries in the market. first the bad: the chocolate chip was kinda hard and not very gooey?! it was served warm but i literally couldn't take more than a couple bites because it reminded me of chips ahoy. i was so mad at myself for paying $7 for it. the good: the birthday cake was PHENOMENAL. it could feed 2 but i saved half for breakfast. and even though the chocolate chip sucked, i'd go back to try other flavors based on how delicious this one was. service was also quick and friendly. note this place is in a basement and very small. takeout only, no seating!

Totally hidden cookie spot, I almost missed it! Really unique cookie flavors but I had to get the classic chocolate chip cookie and no surprise it was amazing!

Very discreet location in the basement of a building. The stairs are steep so be careful. Pretty straightforward cookie spot. The cookies were very sweet. We got a whole bunch. Chocolate chip was my fav. Dark chocolate smores wasnt the best. The dunkaroo special was good too. The cookies weren't good the next day and didn't seem to have anything gooey on the inside. The cookie dough on the menu takes about 10 min to make but was worth it. Birthday cake one was awesome. Eat it while it is hot you wont regret it. Its just ok cold. 3.5 stars but closer to 3 for me.

I saw on social media that they had happy hr on Cookies. After a long day, a cookie would be a great treat. For happy hr you could purchase 2 cookies. I purchased the cookie of the month Red Velvet & the Chocolate Chip Chunk. I liked that the directions on how to heat & store the cookies are on display. They take care in wrapping your cookies. These cookies are the best cookies I've ever eaten! I liked the red velvet cookie better. I froze the chocolate chip cookie. When I reheated it, It needed 7.30 minutes in the oven. I will definitely visit again.

Got mine shipped all the way to San Diego these are some really great cookies would recommend

First time here, customer service was great! Cookies were just ok. Good place for a quick late night cookie craving run.

It's just a counter, so anticipate pick up and go. Cookies are $6 a piece but they are thick and decadent. Delicious flavors! The Kinder one doesn't have much dark chocolate flavor though. Still enjoyed.

Delicious giant cookie, you can probably share one united have a big sweet tooth. I got the chocolate marshmallow one. Great for a end of night snack. Lots of cookie places in the area and this is a great choice. I would say stop by during happy hour to get $4 cookies. I know NYC is expensive but $7/cookie is a steep price

Really good cookies but as we were eating them outside (at something that looked like a counter) the woman working inside said "we should put up no loitering signs, these people need to get their cookies and go). Just weird. Why make your customers feels uncomfortable if you're not going to directly say not to eat them there? Strange experience but, as I said, good cookies.

Super cool casual spot! No seating inside as it's for takeout but super tasty cookies and lots of options! Fun spot to to walk around as there are a lot of bars and restaurants nearby Follow me on TikTok @rynelly for more NYC food recs!

Got some of these delivered on a lazy Friday night and they certainly did not disappoint. I tried the chocolate chip chunk, dark chocolate caramel s'more and banana cream pudding cookie. Chocolate chip was my favorite but dark chocolate caramel came in at a close second. Red velvet (which I've had in the past) is also very satisfying. The cookies are as advertised- deliciously gooey on the inside. Was surprised that they arrived warm and in great condition to indulge on with a tall glass of milk. Just a single cookie is quite filling so make sure you build an appetite (or just overindulge like me). As far as oversized cookie spots in the city, this is definitely one of the better ones. Planning to go back and try the all things jars and more cookie flavors!

Is there a difference between ooey gooey and raw... Was super excited to stop into "Gooey on the inside" and was over joyed by the cute exterior decor and the overall aesthetic. We came 15 minutes till closing so flavors were limited but that didn't hinder my experience what did was that one of the cookies I got was wet on the inside. Wet as in the batter was raw consistency. If they had the option to have "crispy/ fully cooked" cookies I would have definitely given four stars! The parts of the cookie that weren't in the center were delicious and flavorful but the middle of the cookie was not it for Me

Small Shop. Limited Cookie Options On The Day I Went. The Cookie Taste OK. Each Flavor Is Mid. None Of These Cookie Tasted Great. $7.00 Each Is Pretty Pricey. The Size Is Accurate. Worth Trying Once & Leaving It There.

Insomnia Cookies is still better even though 2 young girls outside of the place said it's better.

Given all the reviews, I had such high hopes for my cookie experience. I made it my mission for the day to walk from the west to the east side of Manhattan to grab a chocolate cookie from this place. Now, don't get me wrong, it wasn't a bad cookie. But for $6, I was left wanting more. I ordered the chocolate chip, which should be a slam-dunk of a cookie. There just wasn't anything particularly memorable about it. Perhaps the more novel cookies offer a better experience.

Again I got lured in by Instagram lol ! It looks so good on TikTok and the gram and I just had to try it ! I got the chocolate chip cookie. In terms of flavor it is a subpar chocolate chip cookie - my favorite is maman and in terms of flavor this is not it. Also $7 dollars for a cookie that is smaller than the ones you can get from chip city or levains both of which pack better flavor- I can't Justify that. It definitely is very gooey which is a fun factor. Perhaps it's better when you pair it with ice cream or the cookie jars that they also have for sale . I love supporting small businesses but I'm not sure I can justify paying that much for something that really isn't that good. I would come back to try other flavors- perhaps those are better - but I would only do this when they're having their cookie happy hour to get value for money

Okay I gotta amend because I've tried more flavors and unfortunately these cookies all in a way taste the same. Flavorless. The best one was the dark chocolate macron because it actually had a delicious deep chocolate flavor but I think it was a flavor of the month. The second was the bueno bueno but now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure all the flavor came from the bueno, inside and outside the cookie and not the cookie itself. Also for cookies that are supposed to be gooey on the inside, they really aren't. There's barely any filling (just look at the red velvet one) and the cookie itself is solid (moist but not gooey). If it weren't for the happy hour I don't think I would've come back after the first batch and to be fair even with the happy hour I can't say I'll be trying anymore.

Landed here in the middle of the night on a nice walk back to the hotel. A friend had told me about this place during his trip to New York and honestly this made for the perfect on the go dessert. We ended up getting the chocolate chip cookie one - this was big and gooey on the inside, warmed up once we ordered and very yummy. My boyfriend gobbled this up quickly and even had some leftovers for the next day. Would highly recommend!

The cakes are really sort and the red velvet was right by the entrance so it was the first I tryed. If we had a lot more time I would have ordered for more. It would have been good find they made key holders and sold them I guess it would bring more revenue. The ambiance was nice clam and looked great.
