Levain Bakery has baked the six-ounce chocolate chip walnut cookie in the Upper West Side, New York City since 1995. Two-tray racks, lines around the block.

Tip: The original Upper West Side basement counter has the shortest line at 17:00. Heat one for ten seconds in your hotel microwave.

Zabar's on Broadway has anchored Upper West Side appetising in New York City since 1934. Sliced lox, sturgeon, fresh-baked babka, and a famously argumentative counter.

Tip: Take a number at the appetising counter the moment you walk in; the bakery side has no number system.
