When you're craving something you have to fulfill that desire or else you will go "pregnant woman mad." Whenever I'm out and end up near the Village I begin to crave the delectable treats from Magnolia Bakery. The other night I was out with some of my teammates and I led the charge to this late night eatery.
Everyone is going to tell you that their cupcakes are the best things they have to offer, but that is simply not the case. The first thing I ever had at Magnolia was a gargantuan slice of their famous Icebox cake. A friend from high school had told me about this treat so on a trip to the city I took my dad there. One word: Delicious!
The other night I decided to branch out and try the banana pudding. Campbel's has nothing on Magnolia because their stuff is mmmm mmmm good! It was too good to eat all at once so I got it to go, but I lost it halfway through the night.
The best things about Magnolia Bakery are its hours of operation and its multiple locations, although I'm always going to wish they were open 24 hours.

If you give a Chace a cookie...
I have found a new love! Cookies!
As most college students do, I procrastinate. Also , as most college students do, I tend to stay up late. When combined, you get the "all-nighter." My future roommates and I pulled an all-nighter this past Thursday to Friday. One of them had a midterm at 8 in Queens so we all stayed up to keep him company and get our work done. Naturally, we got very little work done. Instead we spent the night hanging out and playing Apples to Apples.
That was until I mentioned that I wanted to make cookies.
Before I go any further I have to explain our roommate dynamic. I am the crazy one. I sometimes come up with insane idea and am always looking to try something new. Rox is the supporter and the more realistic one (I guess). She comes up with semi-realistic ideas like having a picnic in Central Park....and then dancing around to no music. She supports my ideas, but sometimes does not attempt them...most because she comes up with a better idea to trump mine.
Our new roommate, Dan, is an enzyme added to a very explosive reaction. He is the catalyst to our ideas. He's the first one to say "Yeah, let's do it!" and have every intention of doing it.
This is going to be a very, very, VERY dangerous living situation.
So back to cookies. After I mentioned it, Dan immediately was on board and someone mentioned that there was a 24 hour cookie place in the Village that delivered. Unfortunately, they don't deliver to TriBeCa so we had to trek up there at 2am, but it was a nice night for it.
The place is called Insomnia Cookies and is located at 50 W 8th Street between 6th Ave and Greenwich. The cookie are warm and gooey. They have the following flavors available: Sugar, Chocolate Chunk, Peanut Butter Chip, White Chocolate Macadamia Nut, Oatmeal Raisin, M&Ms, Double Chocolate Chunk, Snickerdoodle, and Coconut Pecan! Each cookie is only $1 or you can get a jumbo cookie of some flavors for $2.25. They also make cookie pies if you are willing to wait 25 minutes or call ahead.
Apparently they have chains near multiple colleges around the US. Good idea whoever thought of that!
We ordered a sugar cookie, a chocolate chunk, and a triple chocolate jumbo deluxe. We almost went back for seconds, but figured we should actually get some work done instead. It's definitely a place I will be visiting again, at 2am or any other time!
