Last September, my boyfriend and I went on a roadtrip from Montréal to New York City for Labour Day weekend. I’ve travelled to NYC on 3 previous occasions, but this was his first visit. This end-of-summer escapade was his birthday celebration, making this trip extra special. Of course, a baker on vacation in NYC always has an ever-growing list of bakeries to visit, so I’m sharing mine with you:
View from the Empire State Building – this city is so photogenic

Ovenly – treats for the roadtrip back home (salted chocolate chip cookie, salted peanut butter cookie, salted caramel brownie, truffle cookie). I loved the brownie and peanut buuter cookie, so delicious!
Quintessential NYC – subway, street vendors, vibrant ads, architecture
Cookie Monsters – some people wait in line for clubs, we wait in line for cookies. At Levain Bakery
