(City) Springscapes in The Hunt For A Black and White Cookie

With the positive changes in the weather in NYC comes a desire to explore the world beyond your apartment walls. For me, it has led to short walks around my neighborhood with no particular destination in mind. It's just nice to enjoy the colorful variations of well-planted tulips that are scattered about town. last weekend I decided I wanted to try a neighborhood bakery that came highly recommended from a long-time New Yorker. Before setting out on my journey with a prupose, I had to know what I was going to encounter when I reached my destination (sometimes you just don't want the element of surprise.) William Greenberg Desserts is the full name of this bakery but you may also know it as Greenberg and they are known especially for a New York original -the black and white cookie. If you lived in New York for any period of time and you like sweet treats, you've likely had a few of these cookies. From the beginning, I always liked the idea of the cookie. Why sacrifice when you can have it all? Some other favorite pairings, neopolitan ice cream and pancakes and eggs. Greed is not really the idea..just harmless to have a little flavor variety when available.

I read reviews that described their version of the cookie as the best. A cake-like cookie with the split icing top. Each time I taste one there's a slight bit of improvement but Greenberg's was really the most like cake that I've had. It was dense and fresh but not particularly special looking so I forgot to take a picture! Overall- I say it's worth trying again so..time for another stroll!
